Private Roundtrip to Café Albania and NAWI Beach House — Ruta de Flores to Pacific Beaches
Skip car rental and let a private driver take you from the coffee-draped slopes of the Ruta de Flores to NAWI Beach House on El Salvador’s Pacific coast. Spend a morning on ziplines and coffee views, then trade hills for surf and black sand—just remember to reserve your NAWI day pass.
The Experience
Before You Go
Reserve your NAWI day pass in advance
NAWI Beach House requires a day-pass; call ahead to confirm your slot so you won’t be turned away on arrival.
Start early to maximize daylight
Depart San Salvador by mid-morning to fit activities at Café Albania and several hours at the beach within the 12-hour service window.
Bring cash for activities and food
On-site activities (ziplines, big swing) and local stalls often accept cash only—ATMs are limited in smaller Ruta de Flores towns.
Pack layers and swim gear
Mountain mornings can be cool; the coast will be warm and humid—quick-dry layers make the transition comfortable.

Conservation Note

The Ruta de Flores developed around coffee production in volcanic soils; towns grew as processing and trade centers and now highlight colonial architecture and market culture.
