Suchitoto, El Salvador
January 31st, 2009
Santa Lucia Suchitoto is the most cordial and welcoming city I have visited in El Salvador. The name "Sochitoto" comes from Nahuatl meaning "place of parrots and flowers." 43 kilometers from San Salvador, it is one of the most interesting places in El Salvador. Between the cobblestone streets lie old homes with character, history, magnificent balconies, and a beautiful church, Santa Lucia, That contains unique porcelain saints of San Pedro and Virgen Maria
Lake Suchitlan
With Suchitoto´s unique location, high in the mountains, it allows for spectacular views of Lake Suchitlan. Lake Suchitlan is formed by the Lempa River. In the 1970s the government dammed the river for hydroelectric power. Sochitoto is also called the “Key of the Lempa.”
