Jardin Botánico

We recently took some of the kids to San Salvador's Botanical Gardens (Jardin Botánico). We weren't sure what to expect before going. Would there be much to see? Would the kids be bored? We were pleasantly surprised. The gardens are lovely, and quite large. It must be one of San Salvador's most underrated attractions. The kids enjoyed running through the paths and looking at some of the plants, but they really liked looking at the fish and the turtles. It was a lot of fun to watch them explore a new environment.

The family of turtles was a big hit. A few even came up on shore.

The cactus garden was beautiful.

We all had a lot of fun at the playground too.
