This reconstructed guerrilla camp is connected by swing bridges and dirt tracks in a patch of partially cleared woodland. The museum is also the contact point for ex-guerrilla guides who can take visitors on fascinating guided trips throughout the war zone. The most popular destination is El Mozote.
Sites within the camp include the remains of the downed helicopter that carried Lieutenant Colonel Domingo Monterrosa, head of the notorious Atlacatl Battalion, to his death. You’ll see the studios of the FMLN’s clandestine station Radio Venceremos (We Will Win Radio), part of an elaborate hoax that used a radio transmitter rigged with explosives to bring Monterrosa’s helicopter down.
