Juayua Cascades (Los Chorros de la Calera)
Kaspian Says: "No, no, take some more!," Jamie says, leaning against the rocks of the falls, smiling and posing alluringly. As awkward as all of this is, there are surely worse things in life than having a 20-year old blond girl in an orange bikini ask you to take lots of pictures of her...
MalenaN Says: On the western side of Parque Central stands Templo del Señor Juayúa, the main church of Juayúa. The church dates back more than 500 years, but it has been rebuilt three times and the last is a white-washed church constructed between 1953 - 1956. Inside there are colourful...
MalenaN Says: The streets just north and west of Templo del Señor Juayúa are covered and here is the market where you can buy fruits and vegetables, and of course a lot of other things.During the food festival you will find more market stalls around the square where they are selling...
MalenaN Says: I booked the Seven Waterfalls tour through Hotel Anáhuac. The tour was 20 dollars (June 2009). We started the walk at 7.30 and returned at 14.00.On the walk we were two tourists, two guides, the brothers Mario and Douglas, and their three dogs + three more dogs.We walked...
Juayua Key Sights and Attractions
gdilieto Says: Juayua's key sights and attractions are three: the Main Square with the Black Christ Church (Iglesia del Cristo Negro), the Food Festival (Feria Gastronomica), held in the Main Square over the weekend days, and the Chorros de la Calera waterfalls, located a couple of Kms...
thevaughan Says: These waterfalls are a short hike in, but are completely awesome! There are several sets of falls and pools. Connecting them are underground tunnels which you can float through completely in the dark. Keep your feet first and watch your head -- it feels like you're in the...
MalenaN Says: Hotel Anáhuac is a lovely hostel where the rooms are set around a courtyard. There are four private rooms with bathroom and two dorms. All rooms are decorated differently by artists. I had my own room and paid 15 dollars per night (June 2009).In the garden there are hammocks...
MalenaN Says: On Saturdays and Sundays there is a food festival in Juayúa where you can find a lot of traditional food to eat. Around Parque Central tables and food stalls are set up in the morning and before the evening they are taken away again. Most of the places show their meals on...
MalenaN Says: I found two places in Juayúa were I bought fresh fruit juices (there are probably others as well). Both were just west of Parque Libertad, one on 2a Calle Ote and the other on 4a Calle Ote. At both places a fruit juice with papaya and orange was 1.50 dollars (June 2009) and...
MalenaN Says: I ate riguas for the first time at the food festival in Juayúa and they were delicious. Riguas are sweet corn pancakes with the shape of a half moon. They are grilled in a banana leaf and in the end they are grilled without the leaf to make a crisp outside. I got a plate...
MalenaN Says: Sarita is a chain of ice-cream places which can be found in many El Salvadorian towns and also in Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica. The company has its origin in Guatemala 1948. In Juayúa there is one Sarita’s in the north-eastern corner of Parque Central. I came back here...
MalenaN Says: I had read good reviews of R&R on Internet and when I passed the restaurant one early afternoon it was full of lunch guests. I came back in the evening and was the only customer (until three more people arrived). The menu is extensive and I ordered hamburger with potatoes....

MalenaN Says: In Juayúa the buses for Santa Ana leaves in the corner of Calle Mercedes Pte and 5a Av Sur, just one block down from Hotel Anáhuac. I took the 9 o’clock bus, the next one doesn’t leave until 12 o’clock. The 9 o’clock bus left almost 20 minutes late, it took one hour to Santa...
MalenaN Says: The buses between Tacuba and Ahuachapán leave quite frequently. They leave from the main street, a few blocks up from the main plaza. When I was leaving a bus was standing there and I didn’t have to wait long before it left. To Ahuchapán it took about 40 minutes and it was...
gdilieto Says: To get to/from Juayua, the alternative to private car and taxis is the bus. Bus line to Juayua is the one which serves the Ruta de las Flores and that goes from/to Ahuachapan to/from Sonsonate stopping in the villages on the way. If coming from San Salvador you shall get to...
gdilieto Says: Tourists will likely get to Juayua by bus, taxi or private car. Taxi is a reasonable choice if you have made your base in San Salvador and plan to visit Ruta de las Flores (and Juayua) in day trip and stay only few hours. At time of my visit in May 2007 there were no...
gdilieto Says: Juayua is a small village with a compact center and you are not going to need any other means to get around but the soles of your shoes. For visiting nearby sights, you will find moto-taxis (and also horse-pulled carts if you wish) for hire in the main square.
gdilieto Says: As well as other in villages I visited in El Salvador, you will find in Juayua plenty of stray dogs wandering the streets, many of them looking quite unhealthy. Be careful.
gdilieto Says: Juayua is an usual Salvadorian weekend destination and, as well as the other villages of the Ruta de las Flores, changes its face during weekend days, shifting from a sleepy to a lively and crowded village. On that regard, if you are interested in a guided tour note that...
