Creator's Key Takeaways

The State Department calls El Salvador one of the safest countries in the world. And that's a bold claim.

The people we met were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see visitors.

El Salvador is a fascinating journey. And for us, it was absolutely worth it.

Rent a car for flexibility and to explore on your own schedule.
Carry smaller bills in US dollars, as they love the $1 coin.
Skip the tap water but absolutely eat the food.
Defensive driving is key due to chaotic traffic.
