Perquin

The town of Perquin is located in the eastern part of El Salvador near the Honduran border. It was the FMLN headquarters during the war...it is also extremely beautiful!

Picture 3: Angela and I on top of Mount Perquin. On clear days you can see Honduras, the town of Perquin, and even all the way to San Salvador. Helicopter landing and trenches are also here as reminders that Perquin was the FMLN headquarters.

Picture 4: Outside of the war museum in Perquin. Radio Venceremos was the radio operated by the FMLN during the war.
