What do the experts say?
Festival de Los Farolitos is an annual nighttime festival held every September in the town of Ataco, where the streets, houses, and plazas are illuminated with thousands of handmade lanterns (farolitos). Families craft them using colored paper, wood, calabash gourds, or jars, each with a candle inside. Although it's tied to the eve of the Virgin Mary’s birthday, it has evolved into a cultural celebration of community, light, creativity, and town pride.
The people and culture will make you fall in love with El Salvador. What I love most about it is how close it is to everything. You can visit several places in a very short amount of time. The beaches are stunning, and travellers looking for great surfing will find that this is the ideal country to visit.
