... Beautiful view of the bay of Fonseca... one of the most stunning and least explored destinations in the country... it features diverse coastal environments like pristine beaches, islands, mangrove forests, volcanic hills and abundant wildlife... has been a center of human settlement since prehistory, with over 10 major archaeological sites identified... you'll find secluded beaches that have preserved their natural beauty and tranquility... boat tours with breathtaking views, dolphin and exotic bird watching... activities such as hiking on volcanoes, kayaking, paddleboarding, sport fishing, and snorkeling... far from mass tourism... Thanks a lot Amelia! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

The Gulf of Fonseca is a sheltered inlet of the Pacific Ocean, bounded by El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. It reaches inland for approximately 65 km and covers an area of about 1,800 square km.
The Gulf was first seen by Europeans in 1522. A Spanish explorer named Gil González Dávila discovered it. He named the gulf after his boss, Juan Rodríguez de Fonseca, who was an archbishop.
The tentative list entry specifically refers to the sites within El Salvador's territory.
