The Jardín Botánico Plan de la Laguna in Antiguo Cuscatlán offers a tranquil escape, generally accessible by car or public transport from San Salvador, though some paths may be less wheelchair-friendly. It is ideal for solo exploration at your own pace, though guided tours might be available for groups. The garden is open year-round, with the dry season (November-April) being most pleasant for walking, while the rainy season brings lush vegetation. Entry typically costs a few U.S. dollars, and a visit usually lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, allowing time to explore its diverse themed gardens, orchidarium, and walking trails. Visitors should bring water, insect repellent, and wear comfortable shoes to fully enjoy this natural oasis.
