An El Salvador Travel Guide will cover the important points you need to know prior to visiting this country and while you are here. Tourism is a relatively new concept here as this country was so dangerous to travel to for so many years because of a civil war. But now, you can come here as a backpacker for instance and pay $1 to $3 for a basic meal, $.20 to .23 for an exciting ride on a city bus in San Salvador, and $5 to $8 for a hostel room. Just imagine what you can do on a tight budget.

Probably the thing that will stand out the most when visiting the country is the simplicity of it all. For starters, it is a small country and you can get between beaches, mountains, cities, and parks v ery quickly. And then the city of San Salvador is a modern area where you can enjoy shopping and night entertainment. It is also simple to find where the entertainment is in the capital city as it is mostly all concentrated in the Zona Rosa . To add further to the simplicity, the currency here is the U.S. Dollar so you do not have to be confused by exchange rates.

Even the meals are simple yet delicious as described in an El Salvador travel guide. The national Salvadoran dish, the Pupusa is really nothing more than a thick corn tortilla stuffed with your favorite meats, beans, or cheese and whatever else you like. Many of the restaurants in the capital city even stuff them with shrimp.

And if you like surfing, the El Salvador travel guide will point out numerous places to surf plus describe the great Pacific Ocean surfing conditions. You can fish, visit a volcano, visit archeological sites, and learn Spanish and everything is in close proximity.

Have fun on your trip to this beautiful country.
