Introducing Metapán

This medium-sized mountain town near the Guatemalan border is the nearest access point to Parque Nacional Montecristo-El Trifinio, one of the country's most inaccessible (but beautiful) parks. The park is closed from May to November to let animals breed, and when it is open you need a 4WD vehicle to get there. The town is pleasant enough, but if you don't think you'll go to the park, there's not much reason to stop.
