Cerro de las Pavas

Its principal tourist attraction from Cojutepeque is Cerro de las Pavas, from which the lake of Ilopango, the volcano of San Vicente, and the Valley of Jiboa can be seen.

The peak known as Cerro de las Pavas can be reached via two roads from Cojutepeque: one for cars, the other a zigzagging path for pedestrians.

In 1924, Governor Fidel Novoa began an improvement program for the peak and built the park known as Parque de Montaña. During the administration of President Oscar Osorio, the pathways leading to the peak were improved thanks to the efforts of the poet Raúl Contreras.

There is a grotto on the peak that displays an image of the Our Lady of Fátima. A pilgrimage to this grotto occurs in May and is a major religious festival in El Salvador.
