1/4

Leave the town of Sonsonate along CA-8 and, essentially, that’s it until you reach Ahuachapán 45 km later. But be sure to detour slightly to visit the town of Juayúa. We stayed the night there and the next morning took a jog, then rocky ride down to the Chorros de la Calera waterfalls. Also, this is prime El Salvadorian coffee country so be sure to do some tasting.
