The Ultra-Mini Bajaj QUTE, A Fun Way To Get Around In El Salvador

We considered renting a car for our trip to El Salvador while we were planning. After much discussion, we decided to hire an interpreter with a car to make it easier.We feel this was a good decision, even though our trip is almost over. Although this is not our preferred way of traveling, it allowed us to explore the area for 3/7 days.Osmaro, our guide in Suchitoto pointed out the BajajQUTE to us during our visit. This was something we kept in mind as we spent our day in this charming colonial town. These cars, which look more like a golf cart, are the most popular choice for taxi rides around Suchitoto. Bajaj QUTE is manufactured by the same company that makes three-wheeled auto-rickshaws, also known as tuk tuks.Although it is not a large city, It can take between 25-30 minutes to reach some areas.After a hot boat trip, we decided we needed a ride back to town in a BajajQUTE. We took the ride more for the novelty of being able to fit into these tiny vehicles than it was for our actual needs. I won't lie, it was a pain to walk up that steep hill.Although the QUTE can seat four, we were able get all our guests inside, even with our lightweight, foldable GB Pockit stroller. Our ride cost $1 per person. This was $3 well-spent as we didn't have to pay for Theo, our little boy.(FYI- We saw Bajaj QUTEs everywhere as we traveled through El Salvador.
