Starting December 25, the Salvadoran Institute of Tourism (ISTU) will offer daily departures of the “Buses Alegres,” as announced by ISTU President Eny Aguiñada. These buses will take visitors to various tourist routes and parks managed by the institute, with itineraries shared on their social media platforms.

Departing from San Salvador’s historic downtown, in front of El Calvario Church, the buses begin their journeys at 6:30 a.m. Aguiñada emphasized the flexible programming, which includes visits to cities and national parks, a combination that has been highly successful.

The revamped fleet ensures a comfortable travel experience, featuring air conditioning and accessible seating. To maintain service quality, passengers must reserve their spots via ISTU’s social media channels.

Entry fees to ISTU-managed national parks remain unchanged: $1.50 for Salvadoran nationals and $3 for international visitors. This initiative is expected to enhance the country’s tourism sector by offering affordable, comfortable, and well-organized travel options for locals and tourists alike.
