Follow the Ruta de las Flores

Known as the Ruta de las Flores ('Flower Route') because of the explosion of blooms that appear every winter, this colourful journey passes through quaint villages within the country's most dramatically mountainous region. Highlights include Nahuizalco with its wicker crafts, the pretty mountain town of Juayua  where an artistic atmosphere prevails and murals line the streets, and finally the colonial gem of Ataco.
