# San Sebastian (El Salvador)

San Sebastian is a small town in Eastern El Salvador. San Sebastian is a traditional colonial era town known for its handcrafts, particularly textiles. You can see everything interesting in San Sebastian within a few hours, so you could plan a visit together with another nearby town or plan some time exploring the natural beauty of the countryside. Nearby towns that could be explored on the same trip are San Vicente and Ilobasco.

## Get in

San Sebastian lies 50 km east of San Salvador via highway CA 1. The trip will take about 1 hour.

## Do

* San Vicente Volcano - also known locally as Chichontepec, the active stratovolcano has two cones each with its own crater. The volcano last erupted about 1,700 years ago though geysers and fumaroles bear witness to the volcano's continuing activity. The volcano is also the site of El Salvador's deadliest air crash. In August 1995, a Boeing 737 operating as Aviateca flight 901 crashed into the volcano on its approach to San Salvador. All aboard were killed. There are few good trails here and most people who hike go up the eastern volcano (where there is an abandoned military post).

# San Teodoro (Mindoro)

San Teodoro is a municipality in Oriental Mindoro. It's a quiet place, out of the way of the bustling night-life and commerce of Puerto Galera and Sabang.

## Get in

Several ferry lines go to Puerto Galera and Calapan from Batangas. Prices are ₱150-200 per person. It might be worth while to check how long the ride will take, and also the size of the boat, especially if the weather is less than perfect.
There are also Ro-Ro ferries, if you want to bring a car. Depending on size, ₱1000-1200.
When in Mindoro, jeepney's go regularly between Calapan and Puerto Galera. As always in rural Philippines, jeepneys will be packed to the limit, including people on the roof. For a more comfortable ride, rent a van (₱2000-2500 for the day, including driver) or arrange a pick up from your hotel.
The trip from either Puerto Galera or Calapan is around 30 min by car and 1 hour by jeepney (they stop, frequently).

## Get around

By jeepney (Puerto Galera - Calapan) or car/van (rent or arrange via your hotel)

## See

The road going to Puerto Galera is breathtaking, and passes by Tamaraw Falls.
In San Teodoro there are several waterfalls and scenic spots, including Tukuban Falls, Binaybay Falls, Lambingan Falls, Botolan Falls, Aras Falls and caves, Punta (Ilag Point) and Tabunan Hot Springs.
There is also a small fish market in the center of town.

## Do

One of San Teodoro's charms is that there's "really nothing to do". But if it gets too quiet you can swim in one of the above-mentioned falls. In Tamaraw Falls there's man-made pools on the mountain side (entrance ₱25/person), in Tukuban there's natural pools in the forest. The last stretch going to Tukuban includes a hike or carabao ride (₱350 for up to six people) across several streams.
River Kayaking can be arranged, ask your hotel.
Dive or snorkel. The snorkeling is not as good as in Puerto Galera, so you might want to rent a boat (banka).
