Planning a trip to Concepcion de Quezaltepeque
Visitor Information
There are no hotels, large restaurants, ATMs, or Internet cafes in town, so there isn't much visitor information to be had. But if you speak Spanish, you can stop by the Casa de la Cultura (Barrio El Central, on the main square; tel. 503/2331-2242) to learn more about the town's history. The nearby city of Chalatenango, which you will pass coming and going to Quezaltepeque, has ATMs, fast-food, and grocery stores.
Getting Around
Most of Quezaltepeque's hammock shops and comedores are clustered within a few blocks of the square, so the best way to see the town is on foot.
Getting There
From Suchitoto, take bus no. 129; the trip lasts 1 1/2 hours. From San Salvador, take bus no. 126, which takes about 2 1/2 hours. Both trips will cost you less than $2.
From San Salvador, drive north out of the city along Hwy. CA-4, from which you will turn west onto Carretera Longitudinal del Norte toward Chalatenango. Follow this road until you turn north toward Chalatenango and spot signs to Quezaltepeque.
