One of the most colorful destinations in El Salvador awaits you!

With its cobblestone streets, colorful murals, handicrafts, cuisine, and cool climate, this is Ataco, another destination on Ruta de Las Flores.

At 1,260 meters above sea level, surrounded by impressive hills covered in vegetation and prominent coffee plantations, Ataco offers an enhanced ecotourism experience, featuring spectacular gardens, hot spring pools, and waterfalls.

If you are a coffee lover, you will surely enjoy the Coffee Tour, an activity you can do at the nearby farms. You can also visit the artisanal looms, go to the viewpoint at Cerro de La Cruz, explore the arts and crafts workshops, stroll through the streets to admire the colorful murals, and visit the church.

In the city, you can enjoy gourmet and traditional food at the gastronomic festivals, especially on weekends. However, any day you decide to visit, you will always find vendors and restaurants around the central park.

One of its most significant traditions is the celebration of "Día de los Farolitos", which has been kept alive for over 200 years. Every September 7th, the streets are illuminated to celebrate the eve of the birth of the Virgin Mary.
