About Bosque Nancuchiname
El Salvador's only alluvial evergreen forest, protected along the eastern bank of the Lempa River in the Bajo Lempa region of Usulután department. Unlike El Salvador's typically deciduous lowland forests, Nancuchiname retains its canopy year-round due to the flood-fed alluvial soils, creating a unique microhabitat for freshwater species, migratory birds, and a diverse assemblage of tropical trees. The name means "place of abundant palms" in Nahuatl.
