    (Translated by Google) It is a place of encounter with history, and at the same time serves to conduct training. Good attention, accessibility to visual tools.

    A must visit in Suchitoto - a great project for the students and great to support. Small exhibition (in Spanish) to wander around. They have a cafe - we only had a coffee and it was so cheap. Apparently the food is good and very cheap too.

    Do not miss this when in Suchitoto. It's nice to see the students learn musical instruments and be involved in the arts for free. There's an entrance fee that supports this cause.

    An important and thoughtful place run by fantastic people. The centre is a touching tribute to victims and those who continue to work for peace, art, and justice. Come to reflect and ponder and support the work and community.

    Amazing lunch for a cheap price - come early before they sell out of the good stuff (like every comedor in El Salvador). Also a great environment and project to support.

    Great cultural space with evolving exhibits! I had the luck to visit during day of the dead and they had a gallery labeled "Altares" in memoriam of people who is no longer with them including Panchita. Panchita was a town-relevant and well known donkey who carried the statue of Jesus during holy week. Interesting to see the contrast on cultures.

    Simple and clean accommodations in a secure compound. The cost is $13 pp for a shared room. I simply asked at the museum cafe and was in a room in 5 minutes. Good attention.

    (Translated by Google) The only thing that bothers a little rest is that the light of the adjoining room is seen in the own, otherwise it is a clean and cozy place, excellent for its price (Original) Lo único que molesta un poco el descanso es que la luz de la habitación contigua se ve en la propia, por lo demás es un lugar limpio y acogedor, excelente para su precio

  • 5/5 is S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Maybe what they lack is a sign that indicates where the place is and at the entrance of the other place since the one that has is not seen and many people do not know that this, otherwise it is a very nice place. (Original) Tal vez lo que les falta es un rótulo que indique donde esta el lugar y a la entrada del lugar otro ya que el que tiene no se ve y mucha gente no conoce que esta, por lo demás es un lugar muy lindo,.

    Good place to learn about Suchitoto's past. It is a small museum and an art school. The videos about the civil war are educational but gory, try to avoid them.

    (Translated by Google) If some SIMPLE TOURISTS WANTED TO CHARGE $ 16 PER PERSON. TO SLEEP IN YOUR PARK at night, WHEN NIGHT IS EMPTY. If they do that, I WOULD NOT LIKE TO VISIT A PLACE WHERE THERE IS PEOPLE SO MISERABLE. I ASK FORGIVENESS TO THE TOURISTS, thanks to them you have income. (Original) Si a unos SIMPLES TURISTAS LE QUISIERON COBRAR 16$ POR PERSONA. PARA DORMIR EN SU PARQUEO en la noche, CUANDO DE NOCHE ESTA VACÍO.

    Für mich würde es ja mehr Sinn ergeben, das Museum und das Café getrennt zu bewerten, denn man kann beide auch sehr gut separat besuchen. Im Café gibt es sehr gutes Essen, wechselnde Tagesgerichte inkl. einer vegetarischen Option (nicht selbstverständlich in El Salvador). Mir hat es von allen Restaurants in Suchitoto am besten geschmeckt, leichte, frische Küche, ansprechend präsentiert. Gleichzeitig war es auch mit Abstand das günstigste! Im Preis war sogar noch ein Licuado enthalten (endlich mal nicht zu überzuckert wie sonst überall). Der Service ist auch richtig nett. Wenn ich es nicht am letzten Tag entdeckt hätte, wäre ich sicher noch einmal hingegangen. Im Museum gibt es verschiedene kleine Ausstellungen, die sich in Summe lohnen. Am besten hat mir die Bilderreihe zur Migration in die USA gefallen.Der Innenhof ist auch sehr schön. Eine kleine Oase in Suchitoto.

    This is an amazing place. Not to be missed. It is dedicated to healing the wounds of war through the arts. Volunteers are magnificent and give of their time and talents freely. It was founded by a remarkable Sister of Charity, Sister Peggy O’Neill. Please do not miss visiting this unique place. We have brought groups from Arkansas to the Centro many times and it has been a memorable experience for all.

👍👍 Great garden courtyard and friendly staff. I tried the pulled pork enchiladas, which were small but absolutely delicious and I would happily eat again. Really tasty iced passion fruit drink too.
