Salcoatitán
A small historic town on the Ruta de las Flores, with one of El Salvador's oldest colonial churches and painted streets. It is a good stop between Juayúa and Nahuizalco.
Salcoatitán is one of the smallest towns along the Ruta de las Flores. The Church of San Miguel Arcángel, beside the central square, was built in the early colonial period. Its plain white facade makes it one of the oldest churches still standing in the country. The town's streets have painted murals and small craft shops, and on weekends food stalls set up on the square. It feels calmer than Juayúa. It is only about 2 km from Juayúa and usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to visit as a stop along the way.
