Every country has its unique stories, and El Salvador is no different. For the first time, the magic of the Salvadoran nights is coming to you in English.
For hundreds of years, parents have shared unique stories with their children, like the twins whom a Shaman transformed into the Cadejos because of their antics, or the vain and beautiful woman who scares bad men in the rivers at night, the Siguanaba.
It's time that you discover more about the unique Salvadoran folklore and transport yourself to a new land.
Are you ready to travel in time and discover El Salvador?
