Our Surprising Trip To El Salvador (former most dangerous country)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- In today's episode, we pay a visit to the world's former most dangerous country: El Salvador in the heart of Central America.
Up until very recently, the country saw one of the highest murder rates per capita and gang violence was common. But since earlier this year, the country has seen a huge transformation, quickly becoming one of the safest countries in the region. How did this dramatic shift come about?
We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time. We're trying to see and learn as much about the world as possible while we're young. Right now, we are working to visit 100 countries before the end of 2022🌍 Check our TH-cam About page for more details👨🏼🤝👨🏻❤️

I'm from El Salvador and you came during a very special time. The country is been transformed by Bukele and there's a lot of positive energy in the air. Everyone is excited and looking forward to the future. If you would've come before Covid your trip would've been different.
It looks so pretty. I would love to visit, for sure👌🥰
I am going in xmas from Australia
@@kalencwil3924 that's great don't forget to visit El Tunco Beach in the state of La Libertad for some surfing
@@kelvinfernandez3205 yeah I hear it’s nice. I’m also meeting a girl there I have been speaking to one for 6 months. Are most girls loving and caring there?
@@kalencwil3924 yes they're very caring here
Salvadoran people are incredible because together we have been through many unimaginable circumstances: natural disasters, crime, wars and poverty. and that makes you united whether you like it or not.
Like the saying goes
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
Yeah, i was born in el salvador, we get use to it, some hpuses are made from mud, some made from brick and metal roofs, and some small shops are connected to the houses, theres masquitos, ALOT of mosqitos, scorpions, and snakes, theres also a monkey problem, monkeys became an invasive speices here.
@@ICarlus1 everything changed👍👌💙🇸🇻

Took a cheap flight to Guatemala this spring (Frontier, cheap flights from the US). So I took a bus to San Salvador and Santa Ana. What an amazing country with such vibrant people!
Merci merci
Thank you!! For visit our country 🇸🇻❤️ with your videos you guys help so much our lovely people our country.
God bless you! ♥️ You are very welcome to El Salvador.
Thank you so much for visiting 🇸🇻💘🥰 and sharing
Arriba Santa Ana, la ciudad morena.
My boy u mean El Salvador ? Guatemala is a completely different country, a neighboring country matter of fact. So if you took a bus in Guatemala to San Salvador then damn you were sitting for at least 10 hours.
En realidad en El Salvador si hay muchos extranjeros, no es que no estén acostumbrados. Simplemente los salvadoreños son muy amables.
Estamos obligados a ser buenos con los extranjeros para que se lleven otra mentalidad de nuestra gente
Si te pones a pensar somos amables y no solo con los extranjeros también entre nosotros somos amables
Por algo nos llaman el pais de la sonrisa
@@erickcastell7557 la mayoría de salvadoreños somos amables, por que es algo propio de nosotros y si obviamente habrá una que otra persona que no, pero siempre el extranjero se lleva a buena impresión de nosotros y no solo los extranjeros sino también la gente de países vecinos
You has too go to Santa Ana volcano if amazing
It's just that in El Salvador, we are always happy to see foreigners. It's nothing new, when people from other countries visit us in El Salvador, we make them feel special and we turn our attention to them because we love that they visit us and want them to come back. I remember when I was a kid, myself and other children always greeting foreigners, we really enjoyed interacting with them. It was so fascinating to learn a little bit of each country and their cultures and all people's personalities. I'm glad you all had fun.
I agree
Would I look like a foreigner in El Salvador? With brown curly hair and tanned skin
I agree 100%
El Salvador has a great President. He really turned the country around. Very smart man.

Saludos desde españa el salvador es impresionante su belleza espero ir dentro de un mes
Les esperamos con los brazos abiertos
Vien venidos todos mis amigos españoles al salvador, venvenuto al salvatore, arriba el ,,BARZA,, el mejor equipo del mundo.
Serás bienvenido hermano
I loved the fact that they didn’t go to touristically famous places (except for Picnic) they went to more local places and really got to know the local beauty of the country, thanks for coming to enjoy our lands 🇸🇻
We are full of foreigners, for example on the beach of El Tunco there are many, people are not surprised that they are foreigners, the people from those places are simply friendly to everyone.
Yes, you are right, we have foreigners, but not as in other countries, that's why they say it, here is not full of tourists yet
Gracias por mostrar mi país en una forma muy amena , aunque no sé inglés , sus acciones me dicen que son buenas personas…. Solo un consejo, si regresan a mi país de nuevo, sería bueno que se quedaran con un amigo en su casa, por lo menos una semana y así sabrán el sabor de nuestra comida, no de restaurantes, la calidez de nuestra gente y de infinidad de lugares para disfrutar… que Dios siempre les acompañe en sus viajes.
Oh! Claro que si! Oh visitar alguna playa
Nuestro hermoso país El Salvador, bello no sólo por los lugares turísticos, si no por nuestra gente, que ha sufrido muchísimo y de todo se repone, un salvadoreño sonríe siempre por que es algo que nos ayuda a seguir adelante con optimismo, El Salvador es grande porque Dios está con nosotros 🙏
Dios envío un ángel para poner en alto el nombre de El Salvador
Most purest & kind outgoing people you'll ever meet 🇸🇻🌴🌊 get to know the history man to understand how & why we are who we are now love this vid tho!! Saludos
THANK YOU guys for visiting my country and making this video. You are always very welcome in here.
Omg I LOVE going to El Salvador. It’s such a beautiful country. Favorite trip was when I hiked the Santa Ana Volcano. Truly an amazing experience. In fact I am going back in two weeks for Christmas and New Year’s. Greetings from Austin, Texas!!!
Hey I'm also going to El Salvador on Christmas day and stay for 3 weeks.
@@josh2k4did y’all hook up? lol

Realmente es impresionante ver a estos muchachos disfrutando la visita a El Salvador 🇸🇻. Y hablar bien de El Salvador hace a los turistas extranjeros pasarla bien 👍 felicidades guy’s
El Salvador is a beautiful country with so many things to see and do. It's a shame that it's past makes people afraid to travel there. I have been there 3 times and cannot wait to go back.
I'd like to visit El Salvador in april but is it a good place as a solo traveller ( greetings from Belgium
That slide looked superfun! 😄 Glad to see that everyone in El Salvador was so welcoming. I'm the queen of ''useless info retention'', so one of the things I thought of when I saw El Salvador in the title was "Oh, that's where Christy Turlington's mother is from." 😂 Looking forward to your adventures in Cyprus! 😊
The slide is really fun - a Salvadoran who’s went on it
I'm so glad that you guys were enjoyed our country. El Salvador has something magical for every single person that want to visit it. I hope you had been welcome in our little big country. By the way, pupusas are eating by hands... Don't eat with fork hehehehe greetings and we're seeing you guys! Ses snart!
"I want to go hiking in El Salvador" So I know a guy, he runs Eco Le Doratt in La Majada. He does hiking trips to El bosque Lya, coffee tours, and another hiking trip to the waterfalls. There's a couple of other people who do hiking trips around that area too, and La ruta de la flores is a very popular area on that side of El Salvador. The beaches are great heading towards the pacific. Glad you guys had fun!
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for visiting my home country. I haven't been back since 2000 and plan to visit my family sometime this year. Watching your video had me in tears what a transformation my county has taken. Bless you guys on your journey 🙏❤️ 🇸🇻
That was so nice guys to see you having so much fun in El Salvador 🇸🇻 ❤️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful experiences in my country ❤️
Greetings guys, I am glad to hear that you had fun and enjoyed your trip in El Salvador, I hope you return soon and continue to discover many more beautiful places in El Salvador and share your experience with us again through these videos 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸 🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Beautiful video guys! Thank you so much for visiting El Salvador 🇸🇻 Have a nice and great trip ❤️
I havent been since 2015 and I'm so glad the country is more loved than before! You have to visit the beaches! It's really beautiful!
Thanks! I love my country 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻 Come back soon 🤗

Necesitan ir a las playas de mi lindo país! No se arrepentirán, vayan al Sunset Park, a La Ruta De Las Flores, visiten todos estos lugares , se llevarán una experiencia única, Enjoy guys!! ✌🏻🇸🇻💕
Es verdad yo e ido de verdad me gusta mucho

I love to see El Salvador move upward and forward. A very inspiring video. Thanks guys and gals, looks like you really had fun!
Gracias por visitar nuestro lindo pais
Sean bienvenidos.
Que Dios los bendiga.
I hope you enjoyed and had fun in El Salvador, there is a lot more to do and we hope people come to El Salvador more often! Our people is amazing you won't regret it at all!
I went to El Salvador last summer just for 2 days and used it as a bridge to Guatemala. To be honest, I was surprise. There was much more than I anticipated. It is a country worth visiting.
I went down that same slide back in March!!! El Salvador has been my favorite country I’ve visited thus far! I also hiked llamatepec! And stayed at the same hotel!
Thank you friends for visiting our country 🤗
eso fue interesante ver estos chicos que difrutaraon la estadía en mi país pequeño pero hermoso
I am very happy and proud you guys were there show the rest of the world that my country is saved the visit 😊
I want to go so badly to visit. My mother left the country when she was still a young teenager during the war and hasn’t returned since. I want to go with her but we never could in the past with how dangerous it would be to visit. It gives me so much happiness that I can maybe finally go with her and see the country she so fondly remembers and loves.
Me encantó el video, que bueno que vinieron a conocer mi país 🇸🇻
Congratulations, Hope everyone enjoyed the stay at El Salvador 🇸🇻. Be Blessed.
Good video once again! thank you for not only showing the country but also giving some background information, your video are always so reflective which I really appreciate.
I’m Salvadorian, and I was so exited when I found this video in youtube, as there isn’t much videos about my country. I love that you enjoyed and that you uploaded this video, so that we’ll have more tourists
Nice country, it reminds me of my own home city Medellín in Colombia, so green so wild and full of kind people.
Thank you for visiting my beautiful El Salvador 🇸🇻
Loved that trip & can't wait to see what Cyprus looks like now. An American friend & I drove all around ghe southern part of the island in the late 80s! It was amazing one end to the other on one day. Obviously being arrogant & dyslexic, I found a "shot cut" through the Troodos mountaind: we just kept climbing- in the tiny car- until the sun went down & we were stuck in the dark in middle if nowhere, we'd been following a graded road to nowhere. We went to an early sleep,waking up to find just how high up we were,trees below were inches high! It took a 48 point turn to reverse & drove around until we came to an army camp, with hundred of naked men in huge Army boots were doing their exercises,we were terrified we'd just be "disappeared-"as that was the vibe! We finally made it bake onto blacktop & my sisters home,they never believed our explanation!.
The coast line was beautiful & just kept changing. We then went& did some tacky nightclubs.
At the end we caught a flight to Egypt & had a great adventure.
So sweet to see you interacting with the girls,you really will make the most wonderful fathers;your children will I'll BE SO LUCKY.
As always looking forward to next trip. Fly safe, enjoy every second & thank you for sharing your trip with all of us,you're awesome.
Very best wishes to you&yours💥👊👏👏👏👌❤💯💙💙💯👋⭐'s💯✌^%%%٪
As a Salvadoran I'm happy you guys enjoyed the trip as the country has been through so much & its finally getting decent
We Salvadorans (in general I can say Latinos) always welcome our visitors with opened arms! glad to know you had a great experience in my little country :)
Yo soy salvadoreña vivo en Massachusetts y me vine muy joven y casi no conosco mi país pero me impresiona ver tan hermosos lugares q ni me lo igmaginaba es increíble lo bello q es mi país El Salvador y lo conosco por medio de los visitantes y q le hacen tomas a los lugares q van felicidades 🎉🎈 por los q disfrutan esos viajes y van conociendo bye bye gays 🙌🙌🙏🏼
Me conmocionaste, no es justo que un compatriota solo viva su nación por medio de videos. Vivo fuera también, pero siempre hago posible la ida. Porque el salvador no es solo como te lo muestran por videos.
Contáctame, disfrutarlo en persona es mucho mas fácil de lo que tu te imaginas.👍🏼
Al ánimo una dia regresarás como visitante y ido unas veces soy salvadoreño y guatemalteco nacido en 🇺🇸
Thank you guys for making the world feel secure about visiting our country. Love your videos by the way!!!👍
😍😍😍OMG!! Thank you guys for visiting our country ❤ 🙏 please come back again it's so nice see people like you enjoying the beauty of our beaches ⛱ and other places ❤ 😊 ♥
To my country, El Salvador, many foreign tourists arrive, but the people are always friendly, it even seems that they have never seen a tourist, but what happens is that we are very kind to the visitors and we like that they are happy to have visited us, a It was a pleasure to have had you in my country. I hope you had a great time. 🤗 They are very handsome 😊
El Salvador is definitely a nature country! Lots of outdoors fun, including kayaking and fishing, whale watching and forest hikes! The food is so delicious everywhere u go in that little but big country!
How much fun was it to travel with top-flight family? I’ve been a sub of theirs for a long time as well! Great job and I can’t wait to see country #97 !!❤👍✈️
SO much fun😍 They're amazing!
🛫🛬👏👏👏👏

Hej Dan och Oskar. Kul att se er i mitt hemland El Salvador. Jag är en salvadorensk som bor i Lund. Hoppas att ni kan njuta mer av El Salvador. Jag tänker dela det här video på min fb.

You must visit Guilherme (My name) its trully a gorgeous paradise everywhere! and the food to die for.. the people the best. Guillermo
We appreciate you guys doing your research on why criminality rates have dropped, and talking about possible offenses to human rights for some population minorities, normally travel bloggers will just talk about how great the fact that 50.000 criminals have been incarcerated, but no one talks about failure margins of people who are not affiliated to a gang and have been incarcerated following and unlawful process with no rights to defend themselves, that’s greatly appreciated guys, I’m glad you enjoyed your time here, I’m subscribing to your guy’s channel
Nice video 📹 👍
Thanks for charing the great vacation you are having in El Salvador, bien bienvenidos al país Take care you guys.. 😀 😊
In December I returned to my country after more than 24 years and I was in some places that you were and the level of security in my country was impressive and I’m preparing my luggage to return soon!! Thank you for this beautiful video and for making it possible for me to more people know our beautiful El Salvador 👏🔥👏
It’s such a beautiful country and the President is doing the most amazing job keeping everyone safe! Going to book my flight in a couple of weeks and we can’t wait 🇸🇻
No se inglés pero yo lo voy a ver porq mencionan a mi país, por cierto bienvenidos disfruten de su estadi acá en El Salvador. 😋❤️
I like how you show every place I’ve been through my childhood and it’s really cool seeing that my country has changed into a beautiful place
Love the new intro. Good luck with 100! What do you have planned for next year?!
Me hubiera gustado ver subtítulos en español, pero me alegro visiten nuestro país 🇸🇻 ❤
Le das en los tres puntitos en subtitulos de ahi buscas donde dice traducir automatico y de ahi buscas en español y ya
El inglés ya es el segundo idioma más hablado de El Salvador 🇸🇻, todos deberíamos aprender a hablarlo.
Miss Universe will be in El Salvador, yeeees!!!! 👏👏👏
Wow this so beautiful seeing the people enjoy nature and be happy.god blees El Salvador

12:47 that's like eating pizza with forks and knives in front of an Italian 😂 I felt something off as a Salvadoran
Thanks guys for visited my country, is amazing see you had a great time over there.
We really appreciate that and you are welcome again!!
Thanks for coming to El Salvador...Is a beautiful country, food, city's, all in one, come back again, please!!!
to give an opinion about the security regime that El Salvador currently lives in, you have to know a lot or at least be Salvadoran. Believe me, no one is imprisoned for their appearance, or for being innocent.
Hello from Norway, oh no🥵 you are going reach 100 countries before me, I have 3 left and before christmas i will take them all 3. Nepal, India and Bangladesh 🤪
Congrats! Btw How do you get to travel so much bro?
