Torre El Pedregal
What It Is
Torre El Pedregal is a 28-story residential tower in Antiguo Cuscatlán, near San Salvador. Designed by a Mexican architect, it is the second-tallest building in El Salvador and a prominent feature on the metropolitan skyline. Travelers primarily view it from outside as a modern architectural landmark while navigating the surrounding district.
Getting There
From central San Salvador, the tower is roughly 8 kilometers southwest. A taxi or rideshare ride typically takes 20 to 35 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
Time to Allow
Allow 15 to 30 minutes to view the building exterior and take photographs. If pairing the stop with a meal or walk around the adjacent commercial area, budget 1 to 2 hours.
When to Go
Daylight hours provide the clearest view of the architecture. Avoid weekday morning and late afternoon commute hours, as major roads in this corridor encounter heavy vehicle congestion.
