Description

If you are heading to/from Monterrico and El Salvador (operates between La Avellana and Monterrico) you can take these rickety wooden boats on a 20 minute ride on the river to save you from having to drive all the way through to Escuintla. The boats take two vehicles (maybe a moto or two as well) and charge depending on the size of the vehicle. It was 85q for my standard cab small pickup. Nice and interesting ride through the mangroves as well!

Esta muy padre vivir esta experiencia de cruzar este tipo de ferry.
Nosotros para llegar a monterico tomamos la carretera desde escuintla e hicimos toda la costera, el camino es pavimentado pero tiene muchos pozos y es angosta, es muy transitada, así que decidimos regresar por ferry y vivir esta experiencia.

si te quieres evitar cruzar por carretera, que se paga un puente de 15Q y la municipalidad a parte nos cobró 10Q por el uso de la carretera puedes tomar el ferry en Taxico haces el desvío para llegar al puerto de Avellana que va para Monterico.

El ferry nos cobró $100Q el precio nos lo dijeron desde el embarcadero pero al llegar al puerto el chico que maneja la barca luego te quiere cobrar más, nosotros le dijimos el precio que nos dijeron desde el principio y que no teníamos más.
