Attractions

Most visitors to Esquipulas come solely to visit the Black Christ. However, there are a few other nearby attractions. Families with children should head to Chatun (tel. 502/5556-2788; www.parquechatun.com), a family-style recreation complex with a swimming pool, sports facilities (such as a zip-line attraction), climbing wall, and children's petting zoo. Admission is Q45 ($6/£3) for adults, Q30 ($4/£2) for children. Chatun is located 3km (2 miles) outside of Esquipulas on the road to Honduras.

If you're looking for a day trip, the Ipala Volcano is a popular tourist spot. The crater of this 1,650m (5,400-ft.) volcano forms a beautiful blue lake and makes a great hike. If you want to visit the volcano, ask your hotel for a reputable guide, as you shouldn't visit this remote site unaccompanied.
