Coffee villages on the Route of Flowers, a colonial town on a lake and world-class surf at El Tunco.

Central America’s smallest country packs a lot into a short drive. The Ruta de las Flores winds through coffee hills and painted villages like Juayúa with its weekend food fair; Suchitoto is a cobbled colonial town above a lake full of birds, and on the Pacific the surf breaks of El Tunco and El Zonte are among the best in the region. Volcanoes such as Santa Ana can be climbed in a morning.
