    Oh so Central America

     

    Guatemala and Belize have long been among the most popular countries to visit in Central America, but on a recent trip to the region I went in search of something new, which I found in spades in El Salvador and Honduras.

    El Salvador is a pocket sized country sandwiched between Guatemala and Honduras to the north, and Nicaragua to the east. It might be better known as the scene of a nasty little civil war that lasted for most of the 80s, but the place has bounced back beautifully. Surf-lovers enjoy some of the best waves in the world along the Pacific Coast, trekkers can tackle one of 20-odd volcanoes, history buffs can take a tour of the rebel stronghold outside San Salvador (guided by a member of the ex-guerrilla movement), and for those who simply want to relax and soak up the atmosphere, the charming colonial town of Suchitoto is perfect.
