Introducing Zacapa & Chiquimula
Capital of the department of the same name, Zacapa is just east of Hwy 10 a few kilometers south of Estanzuela. This town offers little to travelers, though the locals do make cheese, cigars and superb rum. The few hotels in town are basic and will do in an emergency, but better accommodations are available in Río Hondo, Esquipulas and Chiquimula. The bus station is on the road into town from Hwy 10.

There is direct bus service from Gualan to Chiquimula and from there to the El Salvador border- Try googling Vargas bus lines.
