It is divided into 14 sections called Departments. It has 25 volcanoes, 14 lakes, and three large cities and is divided in to East, Central and West with the the capital San Salvador in the central region, Santa Ana in the west and San Miguel the largest city in the east.
The civilization of El Salvador dates from the pre-Columbian time, around 1500 BC, according to evidence provided by the ancient structures of Tazumal in Chalchuapa. El Salvador has a tropical climate with pronounced wet and dry seasons. Temperatures vary primarily with elevation and show little seasonal change.

Many of environmentally-oriented community-based organizations promote eco-tourism, and there are a number of beautiful and secluded beaches and forests scattered throughout the country.
A well-maintained and sparsely populated national park is found in the west at Bosque El Imposible. Additionally, there is Montecristo Cloud Forest, and a quaint fishing village with incredible local hospitality and remote coconut islands in La Isla de Méndez. Isla de Olomega in the department of San Miguel is an excellent eco-tourism destination, as are the beautiful Isla El Cajete in Sonsonate, Isla San Sebastian, Conchagua, Conchaguita, Isla Conejo, Isla Teopan, and Isla Meanguera.
One should also visit the colonial towns of Ataco, Apaneca, Juayua, Panchimalco, and Suchitoto as well as the Mayan sites of San Andrés, Joya de Cerén (The Pompeii of Central America and an UNESCO World Heritage Site), and Tazumal, whose main pyramid rises some 75 feet into the air.

Souvenir hunters will find some of the best artisans in San Juan el Espino and in La Palma (the artisan capital of El Salvador).

El Salvadorian cuisine has become a popular food in many parts of the US in recent years for good reason. There are so many incredible dishes and flavors that come from El Salvador.

That is not all there is to enjoy, from the incredible seafood to the unlimited amount of beans, rice, and fruit you will have, you will not go hungry as a tourist on a vacation in El Salvador.

El Salvador - Cesta střední amerikou | Část 4. | Travel vlog #8.4
El Salvador byl na mé cestě střední amerikou jasnou zastávkou. Teda tak úplně jasnou nebyl, přeci jen, když si člověk přečte informace na internetu. Začne si říkat, jo tak to je přesně ten stát, kam bych asi neměl jezdit. Jenže soudit El Salvador podle článku na internetu, by byla velká škoda. Teda je pravda, že to nebyl jen jeden článek. Těch negativních článků je mnoho a nepomůžou ani doporučení třeba USA, které úplně cestu do El Salvadoru nedoporučují. Ale najde se i pár komentářů, které El Salvador řadí mezi ty pozitivní zkušenosti a státy. Já se vlastně tímto přidávám také s pozitivním komentářem.
Proč El Salvador doporučuji? Když najdete odvahu a uvědomíte si, že počet vražd přeci jen klesá a ještě k tomu se vraždí zpravidla pouze místní kartely, tak potom se stačí vyhnout akorát pár místům. Třeba já jsem si řekl, ok nepojedu do hlavního města, ale i tam je prý relativně bezpečná, jen se člověk musí vyhnout několika čtvrtím.
Po bezpečností stránce byl tedy El Salvador úplně normálním státem. Teda až na policii se samopaly a všude přítomné ochranky s brokovnicí. Kupodivu mi to vůbec nevadilo a naopak jsem se cítil spíše bezpečně. Až teda na jeden moment. To když jsem šel sám v kopcích a potkal dva borce s M4. Uznávám, že jsem začal přemýšlet, jak dané může dopadnout. Pak jsem se ptal místních a prý to jsou lovci. Raději jsem se neptal koho loví, ale já přežil, takže to už není podstatné. Každopádně to byl intenzivní zážitek a vlastně jím byl i celý El Salvador.
V El Salvadoru se mi totiž několikrát stalo, že mi někdo pomohl aniž bych se ptal a když jsem se zeptal, tak každý pomohl velmi ochotně. Místo toho aby v El Salvadoru něco někdo chtěl od bohatého evropana, tak naopak mi několikrát někdo něco dal. Třeba jsem dostal oběd, několik piv na různých místech a dostal jsem se do baru, kam mohou jen místní. Takže ano, El Salvador byl velmi přátelský a budu na tento stát a jeho úžasné lidi vzpomínat ještě hodně dlouho. Já říkám, že život je moc krátký, aby člověk jezdil pořád na jedno místo, ale dokážu si představit, že El Salvador navštívím ještě někdy v budoucnu a klidně několikrát.
Posledním překvapením bylo, že v El Salvadoru se dá skoro všude platit Bitcoinem a to i na místech, kde neberou normální karty. I když kupodivu se kartou dalo platit prakticky všude. Kromě u pouličních stánků.
El Salvador je prostě státem, který jsem se bál zařadit na svůj list, ale ve finále jsem rád, že jsem se odhodlal a sám procestoval tento úžasný stát. Jen doporučuji nenosti oblečení s číslem 13 a 18. Na to jsem se ptal a opravdu to je označení místních gangů. Vlastně asi obecně, ideálně nemít oblečení s číslem.

El Tazumal Ruins | El Salvador Travel Vlog | Indian Couple in Latin America
El Tazumal is one of the most prominent Mayan ruins sites in El Slavador. The site is located in Chalchuapa, around 15 km from Santa Ana town.
Parque Arqueológico Tazumal was excavated in 1940 by archaeologist Stanley Boggs. The primary structure is pyramid B1-1 along with the Temple of Columns, located at the center of the site. Apart from the pyramid B1-1, there are 2 ball game courts and another pyramid B1-2.
We traveled to El Tazumal from Santa Ana in a bus. It was an easy trip and we did a self-guided tour of the site for around 40-45 minutes.

Biking the World’s MOST DANGEROUS Country (El Salvador) - Day 9
My goal is to change the perception of El Salvador. Welcome to my journey as I attempt to ride my bike across the entire country of El Salvador. El Salvador has been consistently ranked as having the most murders per capita in the entire world, leading El Salvador to acquire the perception of being the most dangerous country in the world. When most people hear “El Salvador”, their mind likely jumps to negative thoughts like murder and gang activity, but I KNOW there are beautiful places to see and kind people to meet in El Salvador.
Despite what I have heard in the news about El Salvador, I decided to purchase a bike in San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador, and attempt to bike across the entire country. My goal is to meet and understand the local people and form my own opinions of “the world’s most dangerous country”. During my bike trip across El Salvador, I’m hoping to discover what the media doesn't show us, a beautiful country filled with a beautiful culture and people. I'm hoping to create El Salvador news that is positive.
When I told others I was going to travel El Salvador, most people told me I needed to be careful. Most people said they wouldn’t visit El Salvador, let alone ride their bike alone across the world’s most dangerous country. Most people only know El Salvador through the lens of the media, and view El Salvador as a dangerous country to travel to and visit, especially as a tourist. However, I hope that my journey traveling El Salvador in 2022 can change perceptions of the country and even more, encourage you to challenge your preconceived ideas of El Salvador and form your own opinions of “the world’s most dangerous country”.
Of course, before traveling El Salvador, like any other country in the world, I would encourage everyone to research the country’s current situation beforehand to remain safe and optimize your time in the country.
Day 9 of my adventure biking across El Salvador starts off leaving the big city of Santa Ana and heading toward El Salvador's coffee region! I start off biking to the town of Chalchuapa to visit the beautiful ancient Mayan ruins of Tazumal. To my surprise, the town of Chalchuapa is also incredibly beautiful with so many colorful streets. After admiring the Tazumal ruins and soaking in a bit of tranquility, I hop back on my bike before taking a quick stop in the town of Atiquizaya for some delicious El Salvadoran pupusas. Pupusas are everywhere in El Salvador, and I really do love them! Unfortunately after lunch I run into some more problems with my bike and I end up getting a few parts replaced. Luckily, I meet many kind locals who help me get my bike back up and running. A few hours later, I finally get to the town of Ahuachapan, which is my stopping point for day 9. If all goes to plan, I will complete my goal and ride my bike to the Guatemala border tomorrow!
So far I have felt extremely safe traveling El Salvador and am overwhelmed by the kindness and hospitality I am experiencing from the locals. I can't wait to continue exploring the country!

Tazumal ruins in El Salvador
The ruins of Tazumal are considered the most important and best preserved in El Salvador. The artifacts found at Tazumal provide evidence of ancient and active trade between Tazumal and places as far away as Panama and Mexico. The excavated ruins are part of an area covering 10 km² (4 sq mi), much of it buried under the surrounding town. Archaeologists estimate that the first settlements in the area of Chalchuapa date to around 1200 BC.
