Most travelers plan their tropical escapes around sun-soaked dry seasons. But here in el Paredón, travelers who dare arrive between end...

El Paredón is known for its waves, its parties, and its ever-growing reputation as a must-stop on the Central American backpacker trail....

By day, El Paredón is a quiet surf town with black sand beaches and a rhythm that moves slow. But when the sun sinks into the Pacific, everything changes. From beer pong nights and sunset boat parties to open-air dance floors, this town knows exactly how to keep the vibe alive.

Nestled on Guatemala’s Pacific coast, El Paredon is a world apart from the well-beaten tourist trails in Central America.
