El Salvador

Trip Planner :  Central America  /  El Salvador
#Nature, #Historic Sites, #Museums
El Salvador, the smallest country in Central America, has plenty of historical and natural attractions to explore on a rich and varied itinerary. The coastal beaches attract surfers and sunbathers, while the main towns showcase colonial and indigenous cultures in their traditions, architecture, cuisine, and historical sites. Tourism in El Salvador has been stuttering for decades, first because of the Salvadoran Civil War, and now because of gang-related activities and a high crime rate. The vast majority of the country, however, remains unspoiled by the narrative that dominates international headlines. Travelers looking for an off-the-beaten-track destination, with natural and manmade highlights uncluttered by tourists and overdevelopment, find such a place in El Salvador. El Salvador is in Central America. Whether you only want to go to El Salvador, or have a whole adventure planned, Inspirock has you covered with our user-friendly El Salvador trip planner.
