My trip started with something special — a visit to Miami, where I spent four wonderful days with my Venezuelan sister and her family. It was the perfect way to unwind, enjoy the sunshine, and catch up before heading off on a solo adventure through El Salvador.
This time, I wanted to try something new.
Instead of spending hours comparing blogs, maps, and travel guides, I decided to let AI do the heavy lifting. The result? A complete, day-by-day itinerary built in minutes.
🧭 Starting with a High-Level Plan
After my family days in Miami, I wanted to dive into a more adventurous part of the trip. I asked AI to create a 20-day itinerary through El Salvador, focused on authentic towns, volcanoes, nature, and beaches, without rushing.
The first version gave me a perfect overview: San Salvador, Suchitoto, Santa Ana, the Ruta de las Flores, and finally the coast around El Tunco and La Unión.It helped me visualize the route, distances, and travel times something that usually takes hours to research.
📅 Building Each Day with AI
Once I liked the structure, I asked AI to expand each destination into full days with suggestions for the morning, afternoon, and evening. It proposed volcano hikes, coffee plantations, waterfalls, and local food markets. Every day included practical details like transport options, timing, and small tips ... for example, “try pupusas in Suchitoto’s central park at sunset.”
I refined the plan by asking the AI to adjust the travel pace and balance busy days with rest days. It felt like having a personal travel assistant available 24/7, patient, fast, and always ready to tweak the plan until it matched my style perfectly.
🔍 Double-Checking Reality
Of course, I didn’t just take everything at face value. AI is great at creativity, but sometimes it invents restaurants or overlooks real-world logistics. So I double-checked every recommendation on Google Maps, GetYourGuide, and local tourism sites. Most suggestions were spot-on and where something didn’t exist, I simply asked AI to replace it with something nearby. The process became a collaboration: AI generated the ideas, and I confirmed what was real.
💡 The Result
In just a few hours, I had a realistic, detailed, and personalized travel plan. From my family time in Miami to exploring colorful villages and volcano trails in El Salvador, everything flowed naturally. It turned what’s normally a stressful part of travel planning into something fun and creative.
