Go Green in El Salvador
Latin America is becoming a hot spot for green travel, but most adventure-seekers look to Honduras and Nicaragua ... rather than El Salvador, with which they share a border. With the country's civil war in the past, a destination marketing campaign has been launched, and a new web portal can give prospective travelers a place to start. Art and anthropology museums and other cultural venues dot the country's capital, San Salvador. If you want to get off the map, check out Izalco, which has the largest indigenous community in the area. Also stop by the ruins of Joya de Ceren, considered to be the Pompeii of the Maya world, where village remains include a fully preserved Shaman's hut.
This is your chance to truly get off the tourist grid. Scrap your conventional plans this year and try El Salvador. Different is definitely better.
