Hostal Villa Limón

Western El Salvador


Hostal Villa Limón is a collection of three forest cottages that can each sleep four people comfortably, possibly more. It is located 14km north of Metapán near a spectacular waterfall at Reserva Ecologica El Limo. Call ahead to arrange pick-up from Metapán; if driving, take the dusty road towards Frontera Anguiatú then continue straight until you see the signs.
