What people are saying

Dec 2020

I took a walking tour in San Salvador, and it started with a walk through Cuscatlan Park. My guide Estafanie gave me a great tour, and the history of the monument there. The 12 year Civil War memorial is absolutely beautiful, and shows every person who lost their lives throughout these dreadful times. I highly recommend walking though the Park and check it out.

“Beautiful renovation!”

Feb 2020

I have been to Parque Cuscutlan many times, mainly to take new visitors to see the Wall of Truth and Memory honoring those killed and disappeared in the Civil War between 1980-1992. It is fashioned after the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC, and definitely worth the trip to the park. However, in the past year or two, the park has been closed for renovations, and it is beautiful. There are more attractions, places to sit, art work, a splash fountain, snack bar and walking paths in addition to the free art exhibit and the Wall. It feels very safe and is a great place to spend some time relaxing.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visit the Wall

Jan 2015 • Friends

We visited this park in order to see the Monument to Truth and Memory. Reminiscent of the Vietnam Memorial Wall, it contains the names of the almost 30 000 innocent people killed during the civil war in El Salvador. It was a very moving and somewhat disturbing experience.

See the Wall of Truth here

Feb 2014 • Couples

This list of people killed or disappeared in the Civil War is over-whelming, and the park is full of monuments to other famous Salvadoreno heroes and poets. The day we were there a troop of Explorer Scouts was having a field day - just what the heroes of the Revolutions in the country were trying to protect. The Salvadorans are very proud of their country and its history, and very friendly - don't be afraid to visit this country, you will feel safe, and very much appreciated.

Popular and lively

Sept 2017 • Couples

Antiguo Cuscatlan boasts an impressive offer of the very best and cheapest pupuserías in El Salvador. Lively and safe neighbourhood; it is better to get there by cab as it is very difficult to find parking space.

Lovers rendezvous and sadly filled with trash. The park has a prime location and could be pretty but it looks like no one really cares about it
