El Salvador's tourism landscape is slightly different from those of other Central American countries. Because of its geographic size and urbanization there are not many nature-themed tourist destinations such as ecotours or archaeological sites open to the public. Nonetheless, El Salvador remains best known for its beaches and volcanoes. The most frequently visited beaches include El Tunco, Punta Roca, El Sunzal, El Zonte beach, La Costa del Sol, El Majahual, and La Libertad beach. The most hiked volcanoes are Santa Ana and Izalco.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Luna |first1=Mar |title=10 Volcanoes to Hike in El Salvador |url=https://www.spanish.academy/blog/10-volcanoes-to-hike-in-el-salvador/ |website=Homeschool Spanish Academy |date=13 November 2021 |access-date=6 March 2023 |archive-date=6 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230306215120/https://www.spanish.academy/blog/10-volcanoes-to-hike-in-el-salvador/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=12 Places to visit in El Salvador.
