Quezaltepeque is a municipality in the La Libertad department of El Salvador. It is located about 15 km from San Salvador. The word Quezaltepeque is a Nahuat word meaning "hills of quetzal." A quetzal is a bird that used to live around the area of Quezaltepeque. High levels of deforestation forced the bird to migrate to other areas.[citation needed]
