Where to stay in Ataco

Concepción de Ataco, known simply as Ataco, is the artistic heart of the Ruta de las Flores. Its streets are lined with murals, textile shops, galleries and cafes, and the surrounding hills are covered in coffee plantations that welcome visitors for tours and tastings. A weekend market brings the plaza to life.

Where to stay

There is a good choice of small hotels in and around the central plaza. The best-rated is a boutique hotel a step from the center, with a 14-room option and a hotel with a rooftop terrace and garden also in the running. A 3-star hotel and restaurant sits in the heart of the town.

Good to know

Ataco is about 90 minutes from San Salvador, and is best on a weekend when the food stalls and craft vendors are out. The coffee harvest runs from November to February. Pair it with Juayúa, Apaneca and the Cascada Los Tercios waterfall.
