The Best Time To Visit
The best time to visit El Salvador is during the dry season, which runs from November to April.
- Weather: During these months, you’ll enjoy warm, sunny days with minimal rainfall, perfect for exploring the country’s diverse landscapes, from volcanic peaks to pristine beaches.
- Activities: The dry season is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, surfing, and visiting Mayan ruins.
- Festivals: You can also experience vibrant cultural events like the Day of the Dead in November and the Flower Festival in December.
However, keep in mind that this is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and slightly higher prices. If you prefer a quieter experience and don’t mind occasional showers, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of late October/early November or late April/early May.
- Weather: The weather is still warm and pleasant, with fewer tourists and lower prices.
- Activities: You can still enjoy most outdoor activities and experience the country’s natural beauty.
The least ideal time to visit is during the rainy season, from May to October. Heavy rains can make travel difficult, particularly in rural areas, and some attractions may be closed.
