La Palma El Salvador artists - creativity at work! La Palma is one of the most important artisan towns in El Salvador and so it's one of the destinations for the Artisan Tour.
It is well known for its wooden crafts and paintings in "Naif" style.La Palma is so absorbed in the arts that you can admire the murals that have been painted on walls along the streets.

San Ignacio: The village of San Ignacio has many craft workshops, but this village is also home to the Peñon de Cayahuanca.This is a huge rock on the top of the mountain that is very popular for rappelling down the cliff side.
