El Tunco Surf City Worth It? How much we spent in 48 hours? QUITE SURPRISED

El Tunco Beach is the most iconic surf destination in El Salvador. El Tunco is located only about a 40-minute drive from the San Salvador international airport and it is only a short 15-minute drive from El Salvador's Bitcoin beach! El Tunco is very popular amongst both tourists and locals but is it affordable? Thats what we find out

Hey Ivan, thank you so much for the love. What a coincidence 😅 did you use that weird table that comes down?? 😋 It's a really good spot in El Salvador 🇸🇻

[@ivanbaiza6998]

​@MaxandJacqueline, I actually did. I did some homework, which helped since it's the only place I found comfortable.

Yep! This was very surprising for us especially since we came from Guatemala which was very touristy but cheaper accommodation 😅

It’s crazy!!! We’re even planning a trip to Costa Rica and found better/cheaper accommodation and it’s supposed to be more expensive there 🤯 but either way we were glad we came we had a great time 💙🤍💙

Why is the sea water so dirty? :(

[@MaxandJacqueline]

I know right! At first we thought because of the heavy rain but apparently it’s always like that. It must just be the currents?

[@DemonWarlordBeleth]

Where did you stay, what´s the name of the place?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

It was this Airbnb 👉 abnb.me/RajGDA9sVCb

[@germanmayorga1481]

$10.00 per person, seems to me it is way too much! Plus tip?!!?

That’s nothing I spent $450 and 24 hours at boca holas hotel at el tunco

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Oh wow 🤑 you can definitely spend a lot more than we did but our goal is to keep travelling for as long as possible so our budget needs to stretch a long way 😅

[@kevinmedina9829]

u can rent a whole house for $250 in San Salvador for a whole month...!

[@MaxandJacqueline]

As a tourist we expect to pay a little more for a beachside location but comparing El Tunco to the rest of El Salvador it was a huge jump in price but we’ll never forget those delicious papusas 🤤

[@henrymontoya8776]

I am Salvadoran but to be a better country we must focus on cleanliness and order, we have a lot to fix.😢

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Lots of potential we agree

[@dablyputs]

I don't understand the comparison of Santa Ana to El Zonte. You're not surfing in Santa Ana.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

It’s just helpful for other travellers to understand the price difference when they visit. It is a more expensive destination when compared to some places in Mexico or Nicaragua for example, we got a much bigger accommodation in Mexico for about $20 USD right near the beach. It is what it is but if we were planning a trip we would want to know and that’s why we share it 🙂

How anoying all this youtubers making videos about El Salvador, making the place the next Bali, Puerto Escondido or Costa Rica, completly ruined and expensive, they don't get it, is all about attention, clicks and money

There are better beaches. Costa Del Sol. San Diego, Tunco beach only for surfers and party nigth. I dont like it it's so expensive.
