Suchitoto

More relaxed than a stoned sloth on valium, the "nothing to do with Japan" colonial village of Suchitoto is what travelling is all about. A beautiful town with extremely friendly natives, good cheap restaurants, enough things to keep you busy during the day (including the lake and the local Los Tercios waterfalls) and one single ex-rebel owned bar, replete with 54 photos of Che on the wall to meet everyone for a couple of Pilseners later on.

It has "future tourist mecca" written all over the place and I really hope for its sake it remains unfulfilled for as long as possible. The locals are happy & genuinely friendly and those tourists that make it here are rewarded with an unforgettable experience.
