One of the most important caves in Central America. Rock paintings over 10,000 years old — the oldest petroglyphs in El Salvador and among the earliest evidence of human presence in the region. "Cueva del Espíritu Santo has petroglyphs over 10,000 years old. Very few people visit because it's in Morazán and 'it's far away.' But if you're already in Perquín, it's 45 minutes away. It's the perfect combination."
