We will walk for 3 hours and 30 minutes through the heart of Santa Ana, surrounded by vibrant streets and incredible photo opportunities. 

And the best part: you will have a special moment during our urban picnic, where we will stop at a pre-set table at a cafeteria, and several local vendors will bring food directly to us to enjoy together.

We will experience Salvadoran culture from the inside out: its people, their way of life, and the story of how gangs emerged and fell in the country,
