El Tunco Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

One final sunset on our final evening in El Salvador. After spending over three weeks circling the western half of the country, we find ourselves back in the tiny beach town of El Tunco. 

El Salvador still has some distance to go before it completely sheds it's unfortunate image, but as long as people continue to avoid this beautiful country, it will take even longer.

Gorgeous sunset over El Tunco, El Salvador.
Another incredible sunset over El Tunco, El Salvador.
What started out as a few drip castles, ended up being a monumental work of sand architecture. 

We were even photographed by the tourists and met a bunch of nice people while working on it.
