Travel Guide to San Salvador

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from the Western Region, head east towards the CA-1 highway. Depending on your starting point, you may need to navigate through local roads to reach the highway. Once on CA-1, drive for approximately 100 km (about 1.5 to 2 hours) towards San Salvador. Look for signs indicating San Salvador as you approach the city. Once you reach the outskirts of San Salvador, follow local signs to navigate to your specific destination within the city. Make sure to account for potential toll fees on the highway, which can range from $0.50 to $2.00.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For those using public transportation, find a nearby bus terminal offering services to San Salvador. Buses regularly depart from major towns in the Western Region. Look for buses marked 'San Salvador' or 'Microbuses' that serve the route directly. The journey will typically take around 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic and the number of stops. The fare is generally affordable, ranging from $1.50 to $3.00. Once you arrive at the bus terminal in San Salvador, you may need to take a taxi or local bus to reach your final destination within the city.

• Taxi or Rideshare
