Morazán
About Morazán
Morazán is the department in the northeastern region of El Salvador where mountains and historical memory intersect. Here lies the Route of Peace, a circuit that traverses Perquín, El Mozote, Arambala, and Cacaopera, recounting the most challenging chapter of the country's recent history. Surrounding this route are pine forests, a cool highland climate, waterfalls, and the Sapo River, regarded as the cleanest in El Salvador. It also preserves living indigenous roots in Cacaopera and pottery traditions in Guatajiagua.
