Tourism
The traveler must go through Santa Cruz,San Andrés and Gualcince municipalities. The deviation to Piraera is 85 km from Gracias, to the left, or at any time the locals can help to find the correct way. This dirt road is repaired constantly along the year. The visitor must be careful during the rainy season due to landslides along the way. It has few to offer to visitors, it has the typical colonial distritution. Perhaps the most interesting activity is to hike some hills, which have amazing views to the volcanos of El Salvador, Intibuca department etc. Also there is an exotic waterfall ont he way, good for cool off after the long trip.
