Although it was too short to do everything on your list! Hiking Santa Ana Volcano was an experience I’ll never forget. Went up with 150 Salvadorans the day before Easter. Incredible views. Also people were insanely friendly and of course the pupusas…..

Definitely on my list to go back and enjoy alot of the things you stated.

There is also a lot of vegetable pupusas options try ayote, chipilin or beans and if you don’t eat anything derived from milk you also can ask for without cheese

Incredible place, history, and current situation! The surf, food, and people are all top-notch. I Married a Salvadorena ex-pat and visit every year (almost 11 times now!)…Central America is incredible but El Salvador is my personal favorite because it is still so wild, raw and true.

Although a little nervous about visiting, mainly because of the constant bad press… We ventured out last year for about a one week stay. We were at Sandiego beach north of La libertad, a quiet sea side community. Very quiet sunny and beautiful, we loved the people the fish markets walking on the beach and so much more! It’s not touristy by any means and we liked that, people were very friendly. American currency was simple and food was cheap! We ate like kings on a beer budget…. Media blows all the negativity, total crap but hey I want this place to stay non touristy, so don’t visit, but I will be heading back to enjoy! Hidden jewel absolutely, of course if you want to hang with the 5th street gangs go ahead….

It was intended as a 5 day stop. Oh right, that was May 28th 2000!! There is a lot more to this country than surfing and beaches, although I will admit they are first rate, . And there is a lot more than pupusas for the taste buds – fresh seafood wonderful fresh veggies & fruits. You are right about one thing for sure – the people have to be the friendliest most helpful I have ever encountered on my world travels. I am always assuring my family & friends that it is safe for them to visit me, almost 16 years driving around this country without incident. Next visitors, in April, want a bit more upscale so we are going to “spa’ it for a few days . $65/night includes kitchenette, private pool, spa facilities & breakfast.
