El Salvador Vacation Packages

Best time to take a trip to El Salvador

With its tropical climate, you can expect any day of the year to be warm in El Salvador. The rainy season runs May through October, and average monthly rainfall is around 12 inches during this time. To avoid the rains, visit between November and April. You will find pleasant high temperatures in the low 80s during November and December. If you plan to go scuba diving, visit El Salvador during January and February, when the winds are calm and currents are not too strong, or plan your travel during the November to see the month-long San Miguel carnival.
