Apaneca
Ahuachapán · El Salvador
Tiny mountain town in El Salvador's Ahuachapán department, Apaneca sits in highland terrain near two volcanoes and draws outdoor activity with forests, hiking, and an adventure park on its outskirts featuring zip lines and a labyrinth of natural vegetation. The town's name comes from the Nahuatl for "river of the wind," and a modest central core offers cafés and restaurants for those based here between excursions.
