Lonely Planet review for Volcán Guazapa

Volcán Guazapa, towering to the southwest of Suchitoto, was an FMLN stronghold during the war. Today you can see bomb shells, craters and tatús, plus views of San Salvador and San Vicente volcanoes. You can visit by horse or on foot; the tours are operated by an independent cooperative, and the quality (vegetation cleared, tatús maintained, horses not depressed) depends greatly on who's in charge at the time. Check with the tourism office for details.

    Truly alive

    gonta recommends this,

    First. I gotta tell you.. The cost of the bus to suchitoto is now 70 cents and there is an ATM in the city, so don't worry about that.
    Now let's get to the point. You have to take this trip and discover all the life changing experiences the population went through. It's amazing to hear the stories first hand and walk as they did so many times.
    The best thing is that it is a local initiative and you're also helping them and I think it's even healthier because it allowes them to share those past experiences and let the pain go away (hopefully).
    I recommend to do the trip in the community LA MORA
