Ruta de las Flores is a series of colorful villages sitting across the Apaneca mountain range, a belt formed by 14 volcanoes and the heart of COFFEE COUNTRY in El Salvador. This was the first tourist circuit developed here after the Peace Agreements of 1992. Nowadays is one of the top tourist destinations and must-go in our country. The perfect mix of volcanic minerals, elevation and climate makes this mountain range the most important coffee growing region in El Salvador. Around this crop many traditions, stories and history had been loomed over the years to offer a very special and interesting destination. Dare to talk with the locals, eat what they eat. You'll explore, taste, learn and discover... El Salvador is so diverse that will make your day. There's plenty of optional activities (upon request): - Zipline - ATVs rides - Coffee Cupping (plus a supplement to your Coffee Experience) - Hot springs and thermal pools - Reptile House NOTE: some attractions may run on weekends only.

Alfredo is amazing! I sent him a list of all the activities we wanted to do in the six days we were there and he arranged the itinerary for us. He was very flexible and after we hiked the Santa Ana volcano and realized that one of the other tours we had wanted to do was even more challenging, we decided to switch from that to another activity, and Alfredo was very helpful. He was wonderful about suggesting places to stay, restaurants, foods to try, and things to do. He was great at answering questions and giving us a history and insight into El Salvador‘s past and present. He was even kind enough to let another tourist join our volcano hike when we asked because her partner’s knee was bothering him and he had to return before making it to the top. He is a great driver, and I felt safe and thankful that none of us was not doing any of the driving! He has a great sense of humor and was very flexible, which is good for us because we are a little bit fly by the seat of our pants and spontaneous. My daughter is a birder and when we were in Suchitoto, we let him know that we wanted to do a boat trip to see birds at sunset at 3 o’clock on the day that we went, and he arranged it beautifully! We visited many of the Mayan sites with him as well as several volcanoes. Wonderful trip and I would highly recommend him for any of the activities that you are likely to want to do in El Salvador.

Alfredo our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. We love to take photos, and he was like our personal photographer. We enjoyed the Food Fest in Juayúa and the variety, taste and price of the food (very economical for the portion of the plates). We learned a lot on the coffee tour and enjoyed the cup of coffee. ☕️ The market in Nahuizalco was an amazing experience and learning about the indigenous history of El Salvador. Alfredo even took us to a yucca place in Salcoatitán to try yucca with all the fixings since Salcoatitán is known for their yucca. Don’t miss one of El Salvador’s most popular tours. Great for avid coffee lovers!

Alfredo is a wonderful and deeply knowledgable tour guide who has created such a cool experience. I was born in ES and even I learned so much about my rich history and my boyfriend (from the US) had a blast learning about the coffee culture out here. I cant recommend this trip to Ruta de las Flores enough if you want to visit our beautiful country and experience it through the lens of locals who are passionate and kind like Alfredo. ¡Que chivo!

Alfredo is just incredible! I am very thankful to have ran into his profile while researching for tours in El Salvador. He is, trustworthy, reliable and extremely educated. He gave us a clear historical background of El Salvador, the customs, traditions and values of the locals. Aside from the educational aspect of this tour, Alfredo was able to show us several gems that were not part of our tour books. My partner and I are confident in rebooking with Alfredo, for future tours. If anyone is looking for a personal tour that feels educational, unbelievably unique and exclusive- look no further- Alfredo is your guy! Much love, Zoey and Alex :)

For the greatest experience and to maximize every minute of your El Salvador trip, call Alfredo. Get him gate to gate! My wife and I took our daughter who was almost 2 years old for week trip to El Salvador. The country is one of a kind world class natural beauty, extraordinary architecture new and old! Don’t let the “smallest country in Central America” title fool you, there are endless possibilities. That’s where Alfredo comes in he drives, guides, translates and everything in between. He is a master trekker volcano exert, historian and coffee expert, oh and his mom and Dad have the best pappusaria in the country. Alfredo showed us calderas, volcanos, code plantation, cathedrals, old town San Salvador, gave us history lessons, showed us companion crop farming, and lined up the grand finale, releasing a whole litter of baby sea turtles into the pacific. When I tell people El Salvador is the best place they can go in Central America, I mean it but I also tell them to just call Alfredo tell him what they like then listen to all of his suggestions, and they will have an experience of a life time.

Alfredo took us on much more than just a tour of the country. He was an incredible guide full of historical information and knowledge on the local communities. Alfredo made our trip easy and fun while also taking us on exciting adventures such as ziplining and indigo dying. As surfers we are so stuck on just staying by the Ocean, but we were so gifted in learning about the heart of the country of El Salvador. Not to mention Alfredo is extremely professional, safe, and truly puts his client first. Because when we did want to surf he rearranged out schedule to accommodate our needs. Thank you again Alfredo!
