Perquín

Perquín: History, mountains, and peace of mind
Looking for a different kind of getaway? Head to Perquín, nestled in the northern highlands of Morazán. This peaceful town offers fresh mountain air, lush landscapes, and deep historical roots.

The most iconic spot is Cerro de Perquín, which rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of the town and the Nahuaterique mountain range. It’s an easy 15-minute hike from the Museum of the Revolution, where you can dive into the history of El Salvador’s civil war and learn about Perquín’s vital role during the conflict.

Thanks to its location, Perquín is surrounded by pine forests and coffee farms, making it the perfect place to rest, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.

Don’t miss Salto El Perol, a refreshing natural waterfall and swimming hole surrounded by greenery, an ideal spot to relax and cool off after a day of hiking.

You’ll find everything you need for a full stay: hotels, restaurants, campsites, local guides, and tours to nearby destinations like Río Sapo, El Mozote, or El Chorrerón.
