LOCAL CULTURE
Denominations of Currency
Most places do not accept $50 or $100 bills, so try to carry only bills of $20 or less.
Food
When eating pupusas (our famous local dish of corn tortillas stuffed with refried beans and melted cheese) be aware of the sauce: it could be too strong for your stomach if you're not used to it.
Security
If you visit the historical Downtown, we suggest you leave your valuables at the hotel.
Transportation
Use the hotel's cab company (ACACYA) if you need to travel within the country.
