Walking along the historical center of San Salvador with your local guide and a small group of fellow travelers, you will see impressive buildings and learn the history of a city that has been rebuilt time and again after terrible earthquakes (1854, 1873, 1917, 1986, 2001), heavy floods (1934) and hurricanes (guests might remember devastating Hurricane Mitch in 1998). You will see how the citizens have fought to rebuild the city with stately avenues and impressive governmental buildings, such as the National Palace or the extensive Liberty Plaza, full of benches and statues.
