Los Chorros is one of the major tourist attractions in San Salvador. Los Chorros is a series of large, refreshing natural pools fed by clear spring water from overhanging volcanic cliffs.
Four pools are filled by water cascading down the thickly-vegetated slopes-almost like a Hawaiian jungle paradise. The highest pool seems to have the cleanest water. The entire place is surrounded by ferns, flowers and dripping moss. This site is part of the Turicentros program and a favorite day trip for people from San Salvador as well as visitors.
Plenty of people visit this site every week. The footfall is particularly high during the weekends. This is a wonderful retreat for the people. The place offers a perfect setting for a picnic.
There are quite a few eating joints that you can have your food from. These eating joints serve some mouth watering local cuisines. You must try some of them during your visit to Los Chorros.
