Check Out The El Salvador Family Travel Guide
Planning a family trip to El Salvador?
After more than seven years living in El Salvador and exploring the country with my own kids, I’ve put together the resource I wish I had when I first started looking for family-friendly places here: an interactive map and family travel guide to El Salvador.
Instead of spending hours searching Google Maps, scrolling through social media, and trying to figure out whether a place will actually work with kids, you can find our favorite family-friendly places around the country all in one place.

More Than Just a List of Places
One of the hardest parts about exploring El Salvador with kids isn’t finding somewhere to go.
It’s figuring out whether that place actually makes sense for your family.
-Is there parking?
-Can a toddler do the hike?
-Is there somewhere to eat?
-Do you need to bring cash?
-Are there bathrooms?
-Is it worth driving an hour with kids to get there?
Those are the kinds of details I want to know before taking my own family somewhere, so they’re also the details I try to include in the El Salvador family travel guide. For each destination, I include practical information and our experience whenever possible so you can decide whether a place is a good fit before you go.
Created by a Family Living in El Salvador
This isn’t a generic list of the “Top 10 Things to Do in El Salvador.”
I’ve been exploring El Salvador for more than 15 years and have lived here with my family for more than seven, and now almost all of our exploring happens with our kids. We visit the parks. We test the playgrounds. We take the hikes. We drive the roads. We eat at the restaurants. We figure out which places are easy with kids—and which require a little more preparation.
The El Salvador family travel guide brings all of those discoveries together in one place. Instead of planning your entire trip before you arrive, you can also open the map while you’re here and see what’s nearby.
Perfect for Families Visiting El Salvador
The guide is especially useful if you’re:
-Visiting El Salvador with children for the first time
-Coming to visit family and want ideas for outings with the kids
-An expat or international family living in El Salvador
-A Salvadoran family looking for somewhere new to explore
-Planning a road trip around the country
-Looking for things to do near your hotel or Airbnb
There is so much more to El Salvador than a handful of famous tourist attractions.
Some of our favorite family days have been at places we never would have discovered from a traditional travel guide. That’s why I’ve included local gems from all over—from well-known attractions to small parks, restaurants, play spaces and places that are simply make the trip easier with kids.
My goal is simple:
Help families spend less time researching and more time exploring El Salvador together.
