Northern El Salvador Description
The north of El Salvador along the border with Honduras is not as developed as the Central and Coastal regions. During the war, guerrillas hid out in the hills, especially in the small town of Perquin which today hosts the country's premier war museum. There are a few small colonial towns which are worth visiting in this area like Suchitoto and La Palma, otherwise the view out the bus window will probably be all the time you want to spend in this area.
Perquin - A historical war monument, Perquin was the FMLN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) headquarters during the war and today is home to the Museo de la Revolucion Salvadorena. The museum features photographs and artifacts of the war. This is also a good spot for finding orchids and rare butterflies along with birds like the oriole and the chestnut-headed oropendola.
