La Ruta de Las Flores (route of the flowers) is a collection of picturesque hillside villages connected by winding roads adorned with a rainbow of wildflowers. It’s the flowering crown of El Salvador tourist destinations and truly unique.

It’s my favourite part of El Salvador and I would love for you to join me for three days exploring La Ruta de Las Flores.

Day one: The foodie day! Juayua, otherwise known as “that village no foreigners can pronounce” (they weren’t wrong!)

Day one was off to a rocky start as we showed up at the address of our hotel to a spot where there simply was no hotel there. We checked the address over and over and wandered round and round looking for it. We tried contacting both the owner and booking.com to no avail. After an hour on the street, we thought we were going to be homeless for the night. Finally, the owner got back to us and directed us to the hotel which was nowhere near to the location we’d been given.
