El Zonte, El Salvador Beach Family Holiday
Jan 16 - Jan 22, 2027
Designed and hosted by the Culture Chalk crew to satisfy the need for quality family beach time!
This holiday package offers a change of pace from our own "regular" mountain scenery. Spend your days building sandcastles, taking surf lessons, relaxing by the pool, competing in a family ping pong tournament, visiting a local school, and hiking to a waterfall where we’ll all jump in to cool off. Blending the laid-back rhythm of beach-town life with meaningful cultural experiences, this itinerary is designed to help you connect with the coastal culture of El Salvador.
A great way for first-time travellers to dip their toes into Worldschooling, this is a beautiful setting with comfortable amenities. However, as your Culture Chalk hosts, we are always determined to push your boundaries one way or another...! This experience is tailored around connection, screen-free days and learning from locals about daily life in El Salvador.
The Roaming Rascals Central American Tour: The perfect combo, Guatemala and El Salvador over 17 days!
July 18 - Aug 4, 2027
Designed and hosted by the Culture Chalk team, alongside special co-hosts Josy and Joe from @theroamingrascals, this immersive journey is for curious travellers seeking meaningful connection, authentic cultural experiences, and a sense of adventure beyond the typical holiday.
Our experience begins with 10 unforgettable days on the shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, where vibrant Indigenous culture, breathtaking volcanic landscapes, and a slower pace of life create the perfect setting to connect with nature, with local communities, and with one another. Through shared meals, meaningful conversations, and thoughtfully curated experiences, you'll have the opportunity to engage with the region in a way that goes far beyond traditional tourism.
From Lake Atitlán, we'll travel together by private shuttle to El Salvador, continuing our adventure with six nights in the laid-back surf town of El Zonte on the country's stunning Pacific coast. Here, life revolves around the ocean, community, and simple pleasures. We'll spend our days exploring the coastline, supporting local businesses, meeting inspiring community leaders, and learning firsthand about the traditions, challenges, and daily rhythms that shape life in El Salvador.
This one-of-a-kind itinerary is intentionally designed around connection, curiosity, and presence. With plenty of screen-free time, shared experiences, and opportunities for genuine cultural exchange, you'll be invited to slow down, step outside your comfort zone, and experience these remarkable destinations through the eyes of the people who call them home.
