Perquín is a municipality in the Morazán department of El Salvador.
It is home to the Museum of the Revolution, which contains artifacts and exhibits related to the Salvadoran Civil War. Exhibits include a recreation of Radio Venceremos, a civil war-era opposition radio station that was broadcast throughout the country and re-broadcast via short wave radio throughout the world during the 1980s. Today Radio Venceremos is a commercial radio station called la RV.
Perquin is surrounded by coffee plantations and green pinegroves and hosts an annual festival that takes place during the first week of August.
