Introducing Sonsonate

The Guatemalan border, Parque Nacional El Imposible, Ruta de las Flores, Puerto La Libertad, Los Cóbanos…almost all the top spots in western El Salvador and the western pacific coast have Sonsonate in their flight path, which makes it all the more depressing that Sonsonate is so depressing. The city center isn't so bad, at least during the day. Beyond the city center, though, the streets turn chaotic and not a little dangerous, as Sonsonate boasts one of El Salvador's more intractable gang problems. You are almost certain to pass through, but other than a vivid Semana Santa celebration, it is a city with relatively little to offer most travelers.
