When to go
The best time to visit El Salvador, whether you intend to visit cities and to go on excursions, or to go to the beach, runs from
December to mid-April, since it is the least hot and the driest period of the year. In the plains, December and January are preferable because they are less hot.
What to pack
All year round, in the plains, bring light, summer clothes, and a light sweatshirt for the evening from December to March; in San Salvador, add a sweater for the evening. From May to October, possibly a light raincoat for thunderstorms.
For the mountains: bring hiking shoes and a jacket.
