EL PAREDÓN, SIPACATE, ESCUINTLA
El Paredón is a coastal village located along the Pacific Ocean. It first began transitioning from a small fishing village into a growing tourism hub a decade ago thanks to its surfing appeal. With low capital gains tax and stable national economic growth, this shift has now attracted greater investments into eco-tourism, hotels, restaurants, and small-to-medium businesses, providing diverse employment opportunities for local residents. Situated near Sipacate-Naranjo National Park, the town features a sizeable and well-integrated international community, sunrises & sunsets beyond compare, black volcanic sand beaches, diverse mangrove ecosystems, and turtle release programs.
