Origin
La Unión
La Unión, situated on the Gulf of Fonseca in southeastern El Salvador, is a strategically significant port city for Central American logistics. Its deep-water port serves as a key maritime gateway for El Salvador and landlocked nations like Honduras and Nicaragua, handling diverse cargo including containers and bulk goods. The local economy revolves around port operations, logistics services, and supporting sectors such as agriculture—notably coffee and sugar cane—along with light manufacturing. Transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Port of La Unión, which is expanding to boost capacity, and the CA-1 highway that links to San Salvador and integrates with the Central American highway network, enabling overland connections to Guatemalan and Mexican borders. This positions La Unión as a crucial origin for freight destined for Mexico and beyond.
