Our story

Who is behind Tours Alegría?

We are Rousse, Kaleb and Melissa, three friends from El Salvador. Rousse is a doctor, Kaleb is a civil engineer and Melissa studied tourism. What brings us together is surfing. It became our way of life, and the ocean taught us to flow with life's challenges the same way we ride waves.

We love El Salvador: the food, the landscapes and the people. That is why we started Tours Alegría, to share our country in an authentic way, with trips that tell stories and take you to places where nature is cared for and respected.

We believe in a more conscious planet. On every tour you will find activities that are good for your body, your soul and the Earth.
