Ilobasco

Discover the artisanal charm of Ilobasco!
If you’re looking for an authentic destination full of tradition and warm hospitality, Ilobasco is a must-see in El Salvador. This picturesque town in the Cabañas department is famous for its clay miniatures, tiny, handcrafted scenes of everyday Salvadoran life that have been passed down through generations. Walking its streets feels like stepping into a living gallery: open workshops, artisans shaping clay by hand, and colorful shops brimming with creativity and detail.
