      Apparently his information is right. At Cerro verde good look on having a Uber coming down. Also service sucks up at the volcano top. You have to pay the driver to kick it with you to come back down. Got the lunch and a mini vacation. The traffic jam to suchitoto from San Salva is crazy. Not now but it was. You can go to Apopan or just go by Ilopango and travel up to suchitoto.

      He is showing what San Salvador actually is, a mediocre downtown. Dirty, disorganize, loud, etc. I'm sorry but he isn't missing the point. What's the problem with talking the truth? I'm from El Salvador by the way, so I know the downtown area isn't touristy, and before you say it, one square with 4 facades (in which one hasn't anything do to with San Salvador history) is just a tiny little part of it. The country is freeking expensive, the food and accommodation are to the roof. And "touristy areas" as Cerro Verde, Coatepeque, and so on, are overprice and overrated. You can do more, stay at a better accommodation, eat delicious food and in general have a better experience in Guatemala for half the cost of El Salvador.

    I just went in November , stayed in San Salvador. Best time of
    My life out in the streets at 2am. You sound like your complaining a bit. I have 0 complaints , what city should ppl not stay at? Not one spot in the country is it dangerous. I literally spent 16 days and went to everywhere I could possibly go. THE COUNTRY IS SAFE NOW. All neighborhoods are safe. You literally stayed in one area. Your review was very limited. Also for those who have parents born in El Salvador, just take your birth certificate and you won’t pay the $12 entry fee. There is Uber and there is also a cheaper option Indriver. Please if anyone goes. EXPLORE even if you have to drive 2-3 hours, do it!

      He is actually right. Uber at the top of a volcano El boqueron was hard to find signal. Even though the antenna is up there. Purta del Diablo was the same. You need to take the bus going back to the city to get signal to get a ride at 8pm. Then waiting in the dark because not all towns have city lights. It's safe. But public transportation is hectic. No visible bus stops. Waiting for the bus in traffic is crazy. The driver tells you to jump in as uts moving because the driver doesn't want to wait in traffic letting traffic pass by him.

Rent a car if you have a license. Traffic is the same as in any city. Don't expect for traffick to open up for you like in the city. You can go from downtown to the sea in 45 minutes. El Salvador is surrounded by volcanos like Hawaii the beaches are not as beautiful as Hawaii but they are second best.

You took a Uber going up. Now how do you go down at 7 pm in the dark not many street lights coming down the mountain. As a guy it was fine add a female. That next light is far for her and she's scared of the dark. It is safe. But criminals keep getting caught. PNC on X will inform you of the latest gang member caught hiding in the mountains.

    You don't sound like a seasoned traveler. It's evident that the nation is a developing country, grappling with the aftermath of 50 years of conflict, crime, gang activity, and political corruption. However, in my humble opinion, there are signs that the country is making strides in the right direction. Seasoned travelers would likely anticipate the challenges inherent in visiting an emerging nation. Your review is misguided to say the least. I just visited in December and I must say that I was so impressed with all the improvements. The country is the safest in Latin America, clean streets, even though there's much to be done, the natural landscapes take the cake. Anyone visiting, please just don't stay in the capital city, please visit the beaches which are world class, the volcanoes, some of which are active, the camping sites, the lakes, the rivers, El Tazumal, La Puerta Del Diablo, La Joya de Ceren, also known as "The Pompeii of America", It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 1993, and so much more to do in El Salvador.

    You shouldn't speak on things you pretend to truly know. I suggest you have a local guide, I have family there. I went there, and learned how people should be and how communities should have love for one another. When i went there, they didn't even have paved roads. Christmas and New Years is the time to go!!! Go where the locals go.

    I’m looking for El Salvador becoming one of the top destinations in the Western hemisphere within 3-4 years. The President & his leaders are working hard to develop and implement a solid economic recovery plan now that their government has defeated the gangs, and the majority of the crime. They’re focusing on improving infrastructure, opening up job opportunities for their citizens FIRST, building industry and concentrating on tourism. Maybe not in that order, but I see El Salvador transforming over the next 3-4 years. They will be successful because the MAJORITY OF THEIR CITIZENS ARE WORKING TOGETHER to make their country great. My husband and I will be planning a trip there next year and I am Looking forward to seeing how the Salvadorians are building back better after being under the control of gangs, corrupt leaders, etc. Many blessings to you all!! 🇺🇸❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸

    Uber is not the only form of transportation. It may take some getting used to but micro buses charge you 25-75 cents per ride. I would get from metro centro in San Salvador all the way up to World gym in Santa Elena (45 min ride or so) for 50 cents daily. I live in San Salvador for 2 months. I’m from North Carolina and was there for the first time

    Currently El Salvador is on par with the USA for safety, an amazing turnaround from just 5 years ago. I don't just say this, the murder rate in El Salvador is currently a small point lower than the USA. The country is early in it's new prosperity. If the country continues in the current trajectory is will be an amazing place in twenty more years. All positive and no current negatives; that is a great thing for a Latin American country. If you are Spanish speaker of any fair or higher level you will have no challenges only great freedom to get to know the people and the country. If you speak no Spanish well don't expect everyone to know English or your language. Latin America has always been this way and it's just the way things are.

    Great video, guys, I hadn't seen it. I am glad you liked my country. There is a story why that rock is called "El Tunco" or "The pig". There is story that my brother, who was a hippie, told me: In the late 60s-70s many Gringos came here to ride our waves, and liked the ones at the place now called "El Tunco", which had a different name before. When they got stoned with some locals, some dude said one day “Hey, that stone looks like like a TUNCO", and all of the other stoners agreed, and the name catched on. Makes sense to me. 😅😅

    I went to ES in March 2023 and made the mistake of getting in the immigration line first. I was told I needed to pay for the visa and come back, but they were very pleasant, kind to this old man, and nice about it, unlike the workers at LAX.
    About safety, we visited my wife's parent's house, where I first landed 50-some years ago, and walked around the neighborhood, where at one time, you risked your possessions and maybe your life unmolested. It was just like it was when I first went there as a young man.
    I was aware of the traffic in ES these days but didn't know it was lighter after 7 p.m., which makes sense. Thanks for that!
