Forgetting a nine a.m. meeting with your boss is a pretty good sign that you need to get outta town for a bit. So why not step off the beaten track to El Zapote and take in the splendid beaches of El Salvador? (The only thing you'll need to remember is how to chill out!)
The nation's capital city, San Salvador, can be found approximately 90 kilometres to the east of El Zapote.
Spend a little time by the sea at San Jose Beach or Playa San Blas.
Yearning for a bit of time in the natural world? Commandeer a set of wheels and take off to Santa Ana Volcano, 45 kilometres from El Zapote. You can also bask in the warm glow of the sun at Izalco Volcano, 45 kilometres away.
Take the opportunity to head to other nearby sights, such as Our Lady of the Assumption Church and Concordia Square. These are located 25 kilometres northeast in Tacuba. Don't want to call it a day just yet? The Port of Acajutla and Acajutla Botanical Park are in Acajutla, 25 kilometres to the southeast of El Zapote.
From surfing to swimming, there's no shortage of ways to get your hair wet in El Salvador. Just don't forget to pack your sun cream!
If you find yourself stuck in some nasty weather, take refuge in one of the region's history museums.
Deepen your understanding of this area's intriguing past by paying a visit to one or two of the surrounding ruins. Do some research beforehand or seek out the most enlightened tour guide in town.
Learn all about the area's spiritual dimension by organising an outing to its churches. Take some time out for some quiet contemplation or simply observe the locals in prayer.
Whether you enjoy the thrill of Michelin stars or gnawing on a simple street snack, tasting the local food and drink is one of the best things about travel. So why not give your taste buds a treat by trying some of the area's finest offerings?
Chicken and beef are some popular ingredients in many of the dishes here. If you don't love them already, you will by the end of your holiday!
Don't pass up the chance to tuck into tipico salvadoreno (eggs, cheese, tortillas) or casamiento (rice and black beans). These much-loved dishes are what El Salvador is all about.
'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts', and that's no coincidence. There's no more delicious way to let your worries melt away than with pastelitos (small stuffed pastries), a sweet treat that's often found on dinner tables here.
Vinagre de piña (fermented pineapples and water) is certainly worth sampling. On ice, neat, in a cocktail? The bartender should be able to offer you some tasty recommendations.
You're heading all the way to the El Salvador region, so why not put in a bit more effort to practise a couple of words and phrases in the local tongue? It's bound to make your experience a more authentic one. You may be glad you learnt 'Buenas noches', which is how you say 'good evening'. Another often used phrase is 'Buenas tardes' ('good afternoon').
Celebrated throughout the entire country, Independence Day takes place each year on the 15th of September. If you find yourself here during this important day, it'll be hard not to get swept up in the excitement!
Luckily El Zapote will stay just where it is, so this "Hasta la vista" needn't be your last!
The nearest terminal is El Salvador International Airport (SAL). When the time comes to pack up your suitcase and hit the tarmac, travel 110 kilometres to the east.
