Central America’s most undiscovered ecotourism destination is launching a new web portal, EcoExperiencias El Salvador EcoExperiencesElSalvador.



Here travelers can investigate the spectacular volcanic, coffee growing region of the western provinces online for the first time.

EcoExperiencias El Salvador is being launched with support from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) as the nation’s 1st international branding campaign to position the country as an emerging, ecological destination, where committed, local people work together to share their true identity with the world.



EcoExperiencias El Salvador is spreading the word about the country’s warm, hospitable culture, premier coffee fincas and panoramic vistas of volcanic landscapes that stretch to the Pacific Ocean.



El Salvador is emerging, leaving its conflictual past behind and reinventing itself as an adventure and cultural destination. The project is helping Salvadoran communities, workers cooperatives, NGOs, and private landowners to interpret themselves to create one of a kind, sustainable experiences that highlight unique cultural, natural and geographical qualities of the departments of Sonsonate and Ahuachapán.



The web portal is being developed in two phases. Phase 1, being launched on November 13, 2008, presents an interpretive preview of western El Salvador’s four tourism destinations: the Route of the Flowers, the Western Pacific, Forests and Mangroves Region, and The Volcanoes. Each destination provides new cultural and natural attractions to be explored.



Phase 2 will be launched during a special event on Wednesday, December 3, 2008, and will feature packages of activities called eco-experiences, in each of the four regions. Invitations to this event will be sent out shortly.



If you are a domestic or international tour operator, EcoExperiencias El Salvador has an excellent range of products to add to your current Central American itineraries.
