San Salvador → El Tunco: key facts

El Tunco from San Salvador Airport (SAL) by private transfer: €50 per car (1–3 people) or €70 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 40 km via CA-2, roughly 40 min when traffic is light and 40–55 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the passenger terminal, just outside the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

El Tunco is a small surf village on the Pacific coast in La Libertad department, named after the pig-shaped rock off its beach and part of the coastline promoted as Surf City. It lies about 39 km west of the airport. The road does not pass through San Salvador: it follows the coastal Carretera del Litoral west past Comalapa and the port of La Libertad, then winds along the cliffs and small bays to El Tunco, so the drive is about as long as the trip to the capital.

The village is a few short lanes running down from the coastal road to a black-sand beach, lined with small hotels, hostels, surf schools and restaurants; most lodgings are within a few minutes' walk of each other and cars can reach the main lane. El Sunzal, with its long point break, is next to El Tunco, and the beaches of El Palmarcito and El Zonte lie a few kilometres further west. Swells are biggest from about April to October, which is also the rainy season.

Public transport: CEPA, the airport operator, lists on its official pages only parking, authorised car rental and VIP services for El Salvador International Airport and publishes no public bus or rail service from the terminal.
