    I just returned from my first visit to El Salvador. I had a blast and am already planning my return. My recommendation is make a few Salvadorian friends online and go hang out, that is what I did. If that sounds to rusky? There are alot of NGO'S and charities to help the less fortunate, go volunteer! I think that is the best way to see the culture and appreciate the people. I came hone with a dozen new friends in my life. Don't think El Salvador is bad, my hometown Houston is much more risky 😂

    El Salvador used to be the most dangerous country in the world but starting 2019 through now the country has become the safest in Latin America - so please get your facts right. El Salvador is in the tropics, the climate changes at highlands where you can find yourself within great temperatures between 70's to lower 50's. Keep in mind any other places the daily temperatures are between high 80's to mid 90's

    I lived there off and on in 2004 through 07 up in the mountains. My husband was from there. The entire time I was the only black woman I ever saw but I had no trouble. I haven't been back but my son and my in laws go every summer. The new president is amazing I understand and has cleaned up a lot of the crime. I am considering going back and buying a home back up in the mountains. I retire in a few and I love the peacefulness and the kindness of the people.

    I think you needed to do some research before answering many of these questions. A lot of incorrect answers here that don't make sense. It looks like you are not in El Salvador currently. And if you were, the question would be, when are you leaving? 🤔 the earlier the better.

    Extremely inaccurate information check your facts buddy the poorest country of Central America is not El Salvador is Nicaragua the most unsafe countries in Central America are Nicaragua Honduras and Guatemala not El Salvador your comments are extremely misleading to some American people trying to move or visit El Salvador to anyone reading this one of the most sophisticated and updated road system airport and capital of Central America is in El salvador I dont know where this guy stayed but his description of the country doesn't measure the quality of lifestyle salvadorean people have currently. Please visit the country and see for yourself my gf is from Colombia and Chile and she and her family were highly impressed by the beauty and safety of El Salvador

    This guy think he know everything about El Salvador just cause he was there for a few days/weeks/months.
    Salvadoreans from tribes?? We are an technical group for the most part, European,Native American,black and middle Easter some.
    It is hot but it something unbearable, is around 80 to 85F, and of course in the USA u spend most of the time in side with the A/c some states are hotter than El Salvador.
    The country is not poor is the people’s mind and the government a lot of people have a decent life not lost but it is improving.
    Also gangs is not a big deal anymore I bet there are mo gangs in the US now and no, is not a dangerous country, of course have crimes etc but like in anywhere else.
    So if you smart you may have a good life here.
