Route of the artisans will take you to the north to visit La Palma , 82 kilometers from San Salvador, and 8 kilometers from El Poy, the El Salvador-Honduras border.

La Palma is well-known for its wood crafts and designs in Naïf art, a creation of Salvadoran painter Fernando Llort, who also designed the mosaics of the Metropolitan Cathedral in San Salvador. Llort is one of the most emblematic people that has influenced this municipality, and with his hard work, he taught the villagers the “naïf” art, a technique that basically consists of representing moments of everyday rural life, as well as typical flora and fauna of the place, made in copinol seeds. In most of the houses of La Palma you can find workshops where crafts are made in wood, leather, ceramics, different kinds of seeds, and designs on cotton clothes. Currently, this craft activity is what generates more income and jobs in this town. After you visit one of the shops you will have the time to do your own handcraft. Free time to lunch.
