El Salvador Post Index

Last updated ​July 27, 2022

I visited El Salvador twice, on both occasions for about 4 weeks each.

And I'd say that El Salvador is my favourite country in Central America and perhaps my 4th or 5th favourite out of all the countries I have visited.

I backpacked San Salvador, La Libertad, Santa Ana, Sonsonate, Suchitoto, Perquin, San Miguel and La Union.

I travelled everywhere in El Salvador by bus, and except from San Salvador to Santa Ana and San Salvador to La Union, it was always by chicken bus, which are cheap and a great way to get around.

Here you will find all my posts that are tagged "El Salvador".
