El Salvador - a country of beautiful beaches, dramatic scenery, and friendly people. At the higher elevations, orchid-laden cloud forests offer a surreal landscape; the lowlands, meanwhile, are birdwatcher's paradise of estuaries and dense mangroves. Rich history and modern foresight are juxtaposed in this "Southern Gateway to the Mayan World." Indeed, on one hand is the Joya de Cerén archaeological site, where a Mayan village was buried in volcanic ash some 1400 years ago, on the other is blossoming San Salvador and its busy international airport. Indeed, the capital city reflects the country's strong push into the 21st century, offering visitors a wide range of opportunities to suite their palates. The Teatro Nacional, built in 1917, dazzles with its red-carpet treatment and opulent interior. Public markets like Mercado Central and Mercado Ex-Cuartel hum daily with local merchants peddling everything from fruit and handicrafts to pottery and hand-woven clothing. The noteworthy Museo Nacional Davíd J. Guzmán serves as home to the country's most significant archaeological finds. Off the Boulevard del Hipodromo, San Salvador's ritziest strip, is the Jardin Botanico La Laguna, which lies on reclaimed swampland at the foot of a volcanic peak. Meanwhile, outside of the capital, the Ruinas de Tazumal are among the most well preserved Mayan ruins in Central America. Parque Nacional Cerro Verde's Volcán de Santa Ana and Volcán Izalco offer spectacular views of the countryside; meanwhile Lago de Coatepeque, a crystalline blue lake hidden in a volcanic crater, is a perfect place for an afternoon hike. If hitting the beach is on the agenda, few would argue against there being a better choice than Costa del Sol, whose white sands and calm waters attract all shapes and sizes of sunbathers.
