Loved that place. I just wanted to warn the people that they shouldn't go swimming to far away. I wasn't aware that the see is mainly for surf and that the waves are so huges. If I hadn't done a whi…Full review by KRLIN

Q:
Hi, I will be landing in La Aurora airport in Guatemala next Wednesday and I thought about taking a surfing lesson somewhere in San Salvador. What would be the most convenient way to get there from the airport. I am landing at 9.30 am so I have an entire day to get there.
A:
You can take a bus. Probably a 1/2 day ride. Just got back from el salvador last Thursday. Take a lesdon through kayu at Suzail near el tunco.

Q:
Hola, I am travelling with a friend from rivas in nicaragua to el tunco el salvador. We have 2 surfboards and big bags. Do you know the best to do this ? Is it possible in one day or is it a two day trip? Gracias
A:
I suggest you do it in two days if you want to enjoy surfing, eating, and dancing as well as shopping. Since you are carrying big bags, you should stay in a small hotel

Q:
Hello! I am traveling alone internationally for the first time! I am both nervous and excited, of course. Is there any tips or advice you could pass along for as a single woman in her 30's on her own? I have 56 days to explore starting in El Salvador. I have my first 3 nights booked in El Tunco at La Sombra. Thank you in advance!

Hi Stephany, Congrats on your trip. I wouldn't worry about El Tunco. Its super easy, mellow and friendly. For tips If you are planning to surf I would check with the locals about conditions. It is probably big wave season. Actually I think they had some small tidal waves or big storm a few weeks ago and had about a foot of water in main street. It looks like they are back to surfing big waves now but you may hear about it or see some building damage. Bamba Diaz is a great local contact if you want to go do something other than chill in town. He is a surf instructor but can take you hiking to waterfalls with jumping rocks etc. He doesnt email but you can find him on facebook. If he knows you are coming he will watch out for you. Or find him at Restaurant Erika. For chilling in town. The Balance yoga studio in town is great. You can get a $30 massage upstairs from the coffee shop. Coffee shop has nice shady back deck during hot afternoons. For all food. (Except Take a Wok) Go an hour before you are ready to eat. Things take a while. Guanaco Taco is a night time hangout. Super Tunco is a great Breakfast Hangout. La Guitara on the beach has great atmosphere for drinks and appetizers but dont bother with their dinner. Julie
