Izalco
About Izalco
Izalco is a municipality in Sonsonate East with deep indigenous roots, where the municipal government coexists with a common mayor elected by the native communities. The religious and cultural life of the town revolves around the brotherhoods, traditional organizations that uphold their festivals and rituals. The urban area retains colonial houses and temples such as the Church of the Assumption and the Church of Dolores. Both serve as the backdrop for one of the most solemn Holy Weeks in El Salvador. Near the town is the Atecozol tourist center, featuring spring-fed pools nestled among centuries-old trees, and the Izalco volcano can be seen from various points in the municipality.
