The patron saint parties of Intipucá are celebrated from March 1 to 10 in honor of San Nicolás Tolentino. Many people residing in the Metropolitan Region of Washington take advantage of the holidays to visit the properties they have sent to build or close relatives, who reside in that population very close to the beaches on the Pacific coast.

The city of Intipucá, with about 12,000 inhabitants, is located 180 kilometers to the southeast of San Salvador. It is recognized as an icon of Salvadoran emigration to the United States, since the first people to do so was in the 60s, when it was very rare for Salvadorans to venture to start that risky road to the north, more than all the people who lacked the migratory documents required to do so. Intipucá is recognized as the most “gringa” city of El Salvador, since half of the population lives in American territory, more than anything in the states of the east coast such as the district of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.

In that city there is a passage called "Washington" and the main road is named William Walker, US ambassador to El Salvador between 1988 and 1992, because he donated funds so that this street was cobbled. His name in the Lenca language means "the great arch of the mouth." Some recommended places to visit in this municipality are the Bocana El Esterón, which due to its settlement of giant turtles and mangroves has been considered a world ecological heritage, beach El Icacal.
