kk
PERQUIN…..
We want you to visit this place because it’s a culture house
where you can know more about the culture and war of EL
SALVADOR…. is a municipality in the Morazán
department in eastern El Salvador. It has a population of
3,900 inhabitants…like I was telling you before:
The House of Culture.
Most of the consequences of war are evident even in conflict
zones. Perquín no exception. Following the coup of November
15, 1979 many Salvadorans believed it was the beginning of
human rights claims of all compatriots, subsequent events
have shown the opposite. The July 1, 1980 was received with
much sadness to almost all residents of massively Torola that
had been forced to withdraw from their municipality.

The Port of Cutuco
The Port of Cutuco, located in the
Bay of La Union in the Gulf of
Fonseca, was built in 1915 by the
company "The International Railway
of Central America (IRCA)", for many
years operated as a railroad terminal
station for the mobilization of liquid
bulk cargo and passengers. The pier
access bridge had a length of 150
meters by 4.9 meters wide.
Muelle de la Union
Structure
The main structure Cutuco spring
consisted of beams and concrete slabs
supported by piles of concrete and
metal.
The docking bay was 172 meters long
by 29 meters wide, with reference to
the axis of the spring.
15

It has berths: one north side, with a length of
172 meters and one at the south side, with a
length of 150 meters.
The water depth ranged between 8 and 10
meters on the north side and eight meters in
the South.
There was a transit warehouse, which
conformed the prefabricated metal structure
aluminum sliding walls with an area of 1,865
mts. ²
The charge was forwarded to the dock via rail
cars running on a path of 683 meters long and
0.914 meters (36 inches) of trail.
The road forked in the spring, continuing twoway
alongside the North and South side.
These three channels were parallel to the axis
of the spring.
the Port of Cutuco was created as
a port Ferroportuario, since in
the loading and unloading of the
wagons, the railway played an
important role, especially in the
transfer of goods from the ship to
shore wineries and vice versa. So
it was feasible to transport the
goods directly from the side of the
ship towards destination stations
inside the country (imports), and
of these the ship (export).

Tourist visits to La Union is never
complete without visiting the beach
PLAYITAS. This beach is 6 km. city
in the far east. Access is by dirt road
which is in acceptable condition to
travel in any vehicle, at moderate
speed, and although is already paved
in some of the reports issued by the
government, the reality is that you are
only improvement work has been
carried out in areas of difficulty for
the passage of vehicles, such as areas
of outstanding and convergence of
streams that descend from the heights
Conchagua volcano.
