| At
Finca “Las Termopilas” we grow a variety of
organic fruits and vegetables, so this is a chance to learn
about organic tropical agriculture. We produce our own coffee
and honey and you are also invited to observe the process. There
is an archaeological site located at the farm,”Sitio Edith “which
is dated to the pre-classic era, but not yet excavated. It is
an interesting place to learn about the first settlers that
lived here some 1000 years ago. If you are interested in archaeology
the largest archaeological site in El
Salvador “Cihuatán” is just 45 min. away. Cihuatán
was the largest city in Mesoamerica at the time of the Toltecs.
Nearby, cozy villages such as Tonacatepeque also make for an
interesting day trip. Another amazing place is the Tomayate
site, which is located just 20 min. from the hotel and is the
most important palaentological site in Central America. Cerro
de Guazapa is an old extinct volcano, once the stronghold for
the guerrilla movement, but now a peaceful and beautiful place
where hikes and horseback riding are available.
