A few weeks ago upon finding out that my friend’s boyfriend was from El Salvador, I asked for recommendations of places to see and things to do in this country. The response I received was a recommendation not to go there. This seems to be the prevailing sentiment and many of the backpackers I had met along the way had opted to skip El Salvador. I tend not to be deterred by such options and consider that with a bit of caution, awareness and with the avoidance of any unnecessary risks a country that is not at war or under revolt should not be skipped simply because people claim it not to be safe.
