Exploring life's off-the-beaten-path options.
How much do you know about El Salvador? This small Central American country does not receive the attention it deserves. I have visited many times and still feel like I have only scratched the surface. The truth is that El Salvador is more “developed” and varied than many people think. Here are some interesting facts [...]
The second day on El Imposible National Park, we decided to hike to the top of Cerro El Leon (Lion’s Peak). This is the toughest hike in the park. It is 8km long (about 5 miles). We asked our guide to extend the hike because we didn’t want to return to the park’s entrance by [...]
I can’t believe I have material to write the third part of this series. It is official. Insane, crazy and weird moments go hand by hand with travel. What would be travel without those moments that make us laugh later? Here are more of the insane experiences I have experienced. As always, you are free [...]
Costa Rica is famous for its abundant wildlife. But let me tell you a secret. I have seen wildlife in every Central American country I have visited (I have been to all countries in Central America except Nicaragua).

What happens when a Puerto Rican is surrounded by dozens of Salvadorans? Well, being as nice as they are, they make sure you taste some of the culinary offerings of the country. I am not even sure why I am using the term “culinary”. They will offer you some delicious typical dishes (that’s a given). [...]
Concepcion de Ataco is a town situated in the western mountain ranges of El Salvador. It is located in the department of Ahuachapan across the popular Flowers Route (Ruta de la Flores). You don’t have to use the full town name. Everybody knows the place by Ataco. To me, this is the most beautiful town [...]
Most Insane Moments I Have Experienced in my Travels I think every traveler have had his/her moments. Those moments when things don’t happen as expected. Moments where you want to cry, scream or pull your hair. And pull it really hard. No matter how experienced of a traveler I claim to be, insane and crazy [...]
El Salvador is one of the lesser known countries of Central America. For a lot of different reasons, it is the country I have visited more times (5 times). For that reason, I can suggest you a compelling reason to visit this beautiful country blessed with mighty volcanoes and wide beaches. That reason is FOOD!! [...]
