Suchitoto: Do Not Go To El Salvador Without Visiting

Suchitoto is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric towns in El Salvador… a place of cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, quiet plazas, and far-reaching views. But this beauty carries history. During El Salvador’s civil war, Suchitoto was a strategic and contested town… a place shaped by conflict, fear, and displacement. For a time, it was known less for its charm—and more for the danger that surrounded it. Today, the town tells a very different story. In this video, I spend two full days exploring Suchitoto… visiting the historic center, churches, viewpoints, museums, art spaces, and hidden corners that reveal both the town’s past and the calm, creative spirit it has embraced today. This is a walking tour through one of El Salvador’s most preserved colonial towns…and a quiet reminder of how far it’s come. If you’re curious about Suchitoto— or about how places shaped by conflict can transform over time— this is what two days in the town really look like. Music provided by Epidemic Sound. I am a couple of years into full-time travel. I choose destinations that are located all around the world and show what those places are like from my perspective. I subscribe to the slow travel method and I make all of these journeys by myself. Solo travel can be extremely liberating. I invite you to see the places that I have been. That might give you ideas about where you would like to travel and possibly, areas that you want to avoid.
