La Unión Tours & Activities: Discover Unique Experiences

La Unión is a charming port town located on the eastern shores of El Salvador, where the waters of the Gulf of Fonseca lap the coast. Known for its beautiful seascapes and breathtaking views of volcanic landscapes, this destination is a favorite among travelers looking for authentic local experiences, delicious seafood, and easy access to pristine beaches and islands. Whether you're looking for relaxing days by the sea, an adventure out on the water, or a taste of Salvadoran culture, you'll find plenty to enjoy here.

A glance at the past

Founded during the colonial period, the town flourished because of its strategic port, connecting El Salvador to neighboring countries. Over the years, La Unión has evolved into a lively commercial hub while keeping its laid-back coastal charm and traditions alive. Today, it welcomes visitors eager to discover its history and natural wonders.

When to go

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April, when the weather is sunny and the sea is calm—perfect for boat trips and exploring nearby islands. However, the lush green landscapes of the wet season, from May to October, also offer a unique and vibrant backdrop.

How can I reach the islands from here?

Many boat tours and ferries are available at the port, taking you to nearby gems like Isla de Meanguera or Isla Conchaguita. Excursions can be arranged on the spot or booked in advance for convenience.

What kind of local food can I try?

Seafood is a highlight here. Local restaurants serve up fresh fish, shrimp, and shellfish dishes. Don’t miss the chance to try traditional plates with a Salvadoran twist.
