The story

Festival de Invierno Morazan in Perquin/Arambala

Festival de Invierno is an annual cultural festival held in Perquin, Morazan department, El Salvador, founded in 1992 in the mountain town best known for its Museum of the Revolution and former role as an FMLN stronghold during the Salvadoran Civil War. It runs alongside, and distinct from, Perquin's own Catholic fiestas patronales.

Perquin is a mountain town in Morazan department, in the far northeast of El Salvador, whose modern identity was forged during the Salvadoran Civil War, when it served as a stronghold and unofficial headquarters for the FMLN guerrilla movement through much of the 1980s.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Perquin's Festival de Invierno was established in 1992, the same year the Salvadoran Civil War formally ended with the Chapultepec Peace Accords, giving the festival's founding a close relationship to the region's transition from wartime stronghold to peacetime cultural and tourism destination

02

The mystery stays covered

Perquin's cool highland climate, unusual for tropical El Salvador, gives the winter festival its name and character, distinguishing it from the town's separate August 14-15 fiestas patronales for San Sebastian, which include bullfights, jaripeo rodeo events, and the election of a festival queen

03

The city starts moving

Perquin today is anchored by the Museo de la Revolucion Salvadorena, documenting the FMLN guerrilla movement, making the town a focal point of the Ruta de Paz alongside nearby Arambala and El Mozote
