The crash and hum of the ocean is everywhere in El Zonte, a small town on the lush Pacific coast of El Salvador about an hour's drive from the capital, San Salvador. For years the destination has been a magnet for surfers and backpackers, who come for affordable tranquility and a perfect, rolling right-hand break. Now, as the country enters an era of greater safety and stability under the much-scrutinized, Bitcoin-powered presidency of 43-year-old Nayib Bukele, the beach town is shifting upmarket, luring wellness seekers, digital nomads, and families with its recently opened boutique accommodations and a fresh food scene.

Around March, the valleys to the north and east of Cuzco, Peru, begin to gleam with pink and crimson — “crowned with amaranth,” the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote, “as with flame.” Native to South America, this scentless species of amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus), distinctive for its tentacle-like inflorescences, is prized for the nutty-tasting, protein-rich seeds that develop from its flowers. (Its leaves are also edible.) Known in Peru by its Quechua name, , it was domesticated by Andean peoples some 3,000 years ago and later became a source of sustenance for the Incas and their contemporaries. (A different variety of amaranth was grown by the Aztecs of Mexico.) But the 16th-century Spanish colonizers, writes Jamaica Kincaid in “An Encyclopedia of Gardening for Colored Children” (2024), forced the Incas and the Aztecs to abandon their crops and replace them “with barley, wheat and other European grains.”

But in recent years, I’ve been drawn to the region repeatedly, making visits to Nicaragua, Guatemala, and, this past June, to El Salvador. After the country made this year’s “52 Places to Go” list from the New York Times, I felt the familiar, early tug of intrigue that so often sends me into trip-planning mode.
