With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that San Salvador, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Monumento al Salvador del Mundo, La Gran Via Shopping Center and Metrocentro. San Miguel is another great option. It’s 50 miles away and offers an array of fascinating things to see and do. Metrocentro San Miguel, Medalla Milagrosa Church and Museo Regional de Oriente are only the start.
