Creator's Key Takeaways

El Salvador went from one of the most dangerous countries in the Americas to now one of the safest in all of the Americas.

I would say anywhere between 3 to 7 days in Al Salvador is perfect.

If you're a surfer, you want to end up in a place along this coastline.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Rent a car with caution due to older roads, but it gives flexibility to explore.
βœ“Consider staying in the Elungo area on the first night and then driving to the coastline.
βœ“Check Surf Line or apps for swell conditions before surfing.
