- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- We booked tickets to roll into San Salvador, El Salvador ad so much drama was infolding. The country had just reported one of its worst murder sprees in 30 years.
We were anxious but decided to see El Salvador for ourselves and tell you all about it!

Oh no ! You guys missed the curtido and tomato sauce with your pupusas 😭😢
Thanks for visiting El Salvador ..
Cheers!
When I was a kid my babysitter was Salvadoran. Needless to say, I learned about pupusas early in life. She also lived right in the middle of the neighborhood where 18st and MS13 was started. Needless to say, I learned about those mugs early in life as well. Huge Salvadoran population in LA!
Imma new fan of pupusas ❤❤❤
Needless to say!
True story, In my teens, I grew around friends who did drugs, I never did drugs, or let anyone pressure me. I had friends in Jr high school who said were in gangs but I never became one. I am a firm believer of god, and being strong will.. Is good to be afraid. No body makes you do something you DON'T want to do, it is totally your choice.
@@maggiecalderon490 How is this relevant?
El Salvador # 2 is L.A. and L.A. County Ca. El Salvador # 3 is Washington, D.C. and Surrounding Suburbs. Know as DMV!
Right now ,with that president they have , El Salvador is one of the safest places to visit.
Salvadorians say hi to everyone, they are just friendly, they would even listen to your conversation and will even give out their opinion, that's just how they are, but as a Guatemala we love them, as part of Central America which was a country in the past we consider them our brothers
I wouldn't call it one if the safest places to visit but it is definitely a lot safer than it was to visit. I also agree with your assessment of the Salvadorian....really open humble people ready to talk and exchange ideas....LOVE their openness and friendly nature. Thanks for tuning in!
@Armando Problemas Take your little angels, as Nayib Bukele said. Most of the prisoners are gangs and the police went straight to the most dangerous areas to begin with, which obviously also includes the lower class, and they are still looking for more in different areas. This war is not over. It seems that defending the rights of "the little angels", the so-called gang members, is something that has become very common with those crap from NGOs or Non-Governmental Organizations. You still think they are not gangs even though they are full of obvious tattoos, even though they have criminal records, even though they want to recruit more people and even make videos on TikTok admitting they are gang members. Even the few innocent people who have been arrested because they have been suspected are eventually proven innocent and set free. They are not random decisions. You are misinformed left and right parties. You should inform yourself more. Other countries would like justice to act like this, especially in Latin America, to take action and stop justifying the actions of those "little angels."
@Armando Problemas Excuse me, but my brother and my mother were killed by gang members in El Salvador. There is poverty in every country around the world with one tiny fraction of criminality of that one of El Salvador. There’s is approximately 2 million people under 30.
And you’re telling me after it arrested 10 thousand guys, government is targeting indiscriminately poor innocent kids with their bodies full of tattoos expressing the gangs they belong to, full of weapons and multiple cellphones that they use to ask for extortion( rent).
As far as the government arresting people without due process is a big fat lie. The exception regime allows the government to arrest, and delays the process; but it doesn’t eliminates it.
Did you know that real victims, poor but hard working people tire of paying extortion are tipping the police.
@Armando Problemas stfu and take some mareros under adoption he is fighting for the poors just like for the middle class
@Armando Problemas that's not true, I'm staying in Soyapango, a poor neighborhood as u said, (I'm colombian) and I haven't seen that 👁️👄👁️ but I can understand why are u lying, ur hispanic nickname is "Making troubles" lol 👀
The transformation there is amazing! People can now roam the streets freely, and enjoy the fruits of their small businesses!
Love to hear that!!!
Thanks for reviewing our country, we love having visitors! Just a quick correction regarding crime: no kidnappings, no grenades in buses and no random sprayiing of bullets in buses. Like most countries in the world, you have to be aware of your surroundiings due to the odd pickpocket, but in the main, you will find San Salvador to be safer than most major cities in the US.
We found public records... news articles going back to 2015 and as recent as 2019 with all of those things happening. We did enjoy our stay though.
Gracias por todo lo que aces por el salvador Paul
That is so true,I live in LA ,when he was describing how organized the gangs in El Salvador, it almost sounded as he was describing Campton,The area of Long beach and the rest of major cities in the US. nothing new. My thing is "if you haven't done anything, there is no need to worry " enjoy your stay ,be respectful and use common sense where ever you go. Peace out.
@@TheYarbros 2015 was our worst year under a government that fomented crime and violence, since JUN12019 President Bukele's security policy has brought crime, especially homicides, down from over 25 a day to less than 3 a day with many days at 0. The current exception regime was called when gangs caused a spike on a Friday 15 days, and we are now back down to almost 0 every day with over 11,000 gang members out of circulation in society! Still no kidnappings or hand grenades or bus random sprayings. Be careful what news you believe! Come back soon, you left a lot of the country yet to discover.
@@paulsteiner8942 I love to see the change taking place. Originally we planned on coming to the country to tell some big stories about El Salvador. Hopefully we can come back and finish the job.
First of all... The fact that you acknowledge that the gangs are a US export and not a home grown problem had me shook...
Thank you for visiting my country n seeing us for more than what the news show.
Got a new subscriber
Thank you for the sub. Thanks for watching and yes the US has done a lot to the people of El Salvador. Bendiciones!
Thank you for visiting my Country! Glad you eat some Pupusas! Lol
Seconded! The fact that you noted that the maras came from the USA meant so much to me! Feel free to visit me in San Miguel next time you come!
@@aroseprince We will....we'll also be doing a piece about the US being the root of problems for a lot of countries. Blessings!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my country, hope you guys enjoyed your visit.
El Salvador, the savior was really good to us! Thanks for enjoying our content!
@@TheYarbros so happy to hear that.
Don't thank them. They just went to criticize the country.
@@top.350 nah, we went to experience the country and then talk about them. Nice to see we have fans that hang in others comments. Thanks for being here.
I am half Salvadoran, but I went to El Salvador for the first time last year. Went from San Salvador to La Union, to Cuzcatlan and other Departments in between. Loved it! Because the DC area (where I am from) has lots of Salvadorans, many of the shops and the energy of the places I visited looked and felt familiar.
If you ever go back, go to a town called Izalco, its located in Sonsonate.. you can go to a place called Atecozol, Caluco (both have stream water pools) and you can have one of the best yuca con chicharron en penjamo.
Qué bueno que hablen de lo que está pasando.
Gracias.♡
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Love this video so much!! I am from Guatemala and my husband is from El Salvador. Sadly El Salvador has such a bad reputation due to all the gangs and violence but thank you for showing everyone what a beautiful country it is. Loved your energy you all ready know I subscribed!!
El Salvador is a nature's lover paradise, nice beaches, awesome jungles and volcanos , lakes, and unique small towns and great food and the super friendly people, and for the most part safe,..I would say San Salvador has very little to offer as a tourist destination, is just another busy city..! but go must the beach, and climb a couple of volcanos and lakes..!
Thank you! We didn't get a chance to hike a volcano but really loved the people we met there! Thanks for watching!
San Salvador volcano is next to San Salvador, it's a good option: El Boqueron, volcano crater.
I want to congratulate you on this video. I am a Salvadoran living in the United States for 24 years and I have enjoyed what you have presented from my country seriously. It is one of the best presentations I have seen hugs and kisses.
You guys are awesome tour guides. I really appreciate seeing ES through your lens. I love what you said about Salvadorean ppl in the "impressions."
Thank you! 80% of the ppl are self-employed and they are spicy. They really fight for what they believe in....very unique and passionate people. ❤
We really enjoyed our time engaging w/ the people, places and foods of this country. We loved learning the history of El Salvador and discussing its future with its people. It was awesome and El Salvador is on the verge of becoming.... Thank you guys for watching and engaging with our content.
- Bendiciones
That is awesome that you two went. I am glad you did not let the news ruin your plans.
Yes, went and enjoyed ourselves.
stay safe!! I so appreciate that you went despite the warnings...but you know, if we all stopped doing what we love because something is dangerous (hell, I risk my life driving to work every day!) we wouldn't be living life to the fullest anyway, so, enjoy!!!
Yeah, we listen, we are careful and we usually try to connect w/ ppl on the geound and find out about potentially dangerous places before we there.
Thank you for visiting El Salvador 🇸🇻
Glad we got the opportunity
AMAZING content,as always!! Thank you, Yarbros ,for taking us ( your supporters) along with you all on adventures ❤️❤️❤️....
We love sharing our adventures w/ you guys! Thanks for being there with and for us!
Thanks guys for visiting our country I hope you have a great time. Keep in mind that at the souvenir markets you can bargain the price but don't do it at a proper store or shop. Enjoy and be safe!
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for giving our country a chance I hope y’all had a lot of fun and go back and visit again real soon it’s getting better and better and safer. God bless y’all 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
We get a bad rep by National media for political driven reasons but EL SALVADOR is safe, just like anywhere in any American city anything can happen here.
That goes for anywhere you go.. thank you for visiting 🙏🏽
Your travelling makes me feel so good. Viewing our world through you both! great! Thank you!
Thank you for trav3ling w/ us!
Great video as always 😎 We would love to travel the world and experience many different cultures as you two are doing. For now we have limited ourselves to Mexico but fingers crossed we broaden our travels. Thanks for sharing with us all ✌✌
We love having you guys along for the ride. Hopefully we can show you some interesting places.
stayed in El Salvador for 2 months - didn't have any problems - stayed in a safe area and practiced other safety measures (as a tourist) - crime is every corner of the world; can't escape it.
Glad you had a safe experience there. You’re right, can’t escape crime. Traveling with eyes wide open is a great way to stay safe.
@@TheYarbros There's several vlogs I've seen of black people traveling around El Salvador (mainly tourist hot spots) that really helped me prepare for going.
I’m jealous; 😪 you are in my country 🥰 and I have 15 years of not visiting. Thank you for considering El Salvador and for showing us your experiences.
Thank you Yarbros for giving my country a chance and visiting!!! I hope you enjoyed it and had a blast. Did you had pupusas? Saludos!
Thank you.
Wow. MAD respect for the Yarbros; ya'll got heart for sure! Ya'll sure ya'll aint from Chicago? (my hometown, I can say that :). You're so right; situational awareness is important no matter where you are. As we say back home, "To be aware is to be alive."Picnic" looks like so fun; Apryl on that slide!!
High key we were mostly punks 🤣🤣🤣 in the house by 9 on most nights. Honestly you can really feel the places that are bad....so we went to the burbs and stayed there. 🤣
Thank you for visiting my birth country! MUCHO RESPETO for taking the "risk". Every country has risks but I am glad you decided to "roll the dice" on the hidden gem that is ES! Our coffee is underrated and I am glad you enjoyed it! Looks like you both had a great time considering you didnt even check out any volcanoes🌋 or waterfalls or beaches🏖🌊!!! Looking fwd to your next trip to ES......I am confident that you will return :) Saludos desde Canada!
thank you for sharing this wonderful video guys
So happy to see you guys enjoyed our little pulgarcito small but mighty 🇸🇻
❤️❤️❤️ The people!
Whew! Y’all have more guts than I do! Enjoyed this video and your experiences there. Being a solo traveler , this is one I would have to pass on. The food looked awesome. Stay safe 🥰
We understand. We hung out with some other traveller's and yeah now that were thinking about it everyone had a travel companion w/ them.
I solo traveled here; stayed for two months. Had no problems.
Your ghetto in your country is by far the dangerous place to visit in 🇺🇸 as well as where the white thrashes live. Hundred of international billionaires are visiting and investing in El Salvador right now. You didn't even try the real good food.
Solo traveled many times here. Stayed months at a time and went all over the country. It’s fine. Lots of tour guides available too.
Awesome vid! Thanks for visiting.
Thank you sharing your experience, thank you for sharing your knowledge on travel hacks. It’s all about common sense, staying safe is key anywhere you travel. And thank you for bringing it up about staying safe where it matters. I wish you guys many blessings. Thank you for visiting El Salvador 🇸🇻 my place of birth.
¡Saludos amigos!
The two of you are a vibe, and I know everywhere y'all go y'all brighten up everything--
still I agree to always be cautious and consciously humble.
May y'all continue to have a memorable time in your journeys & may the both always be blessed.
Hola 👋🏾 we hope to be a light wherever we go, using wisdom along the way. Blessings!
These people know!! Gans in El Salvador are 100% US exports.
Yup!

Those pupusas were a big surprise to us...MAN they were good!
Thanks for visiting our country hope you enjoyed your stay
We did!
My favorite vacations have been in El Salvador . People are so friendly and will make you feel at home. Doesn't matter what color or race you are people will be super friendly. Airbnbs are affordable and the country is beautiful.
We concur except for the aurnbbs in San Salvador were crazy expensive.
Thanks you guys for visiting my country !!
Thank you
Thank you for visiting our country, you guys are very welcome 🙏 😊
Thanks for having us!
Welcome to my country!!! We love guys ! Hugs and prayers for you.
Thank you!
Oh darn, I'm 5th, lol
Great content, guys. We truly love your channel
Take care and stay safe and healthy

Muchas gracias! Love the support. Stay cool down there in that Yucatan sun!
Great video 🤩
Gracias 😄
I hope you’ll enjoy your trip to my country and thanks for showing the nice places from my country to the world
Thanks for sharing this but I was anxious for you all to leave the the whole time. Be safe.
Thanks for caring 🤗
I just felt that you emphasized the gangs too much,the police and army are there to protect you, not to scare you. It might be a shock too see that much security, I’m sorry that you felt that you had to talk more about the gangs than the actual beauty of the country. I hope that if you comeback you get to see what we see, which is beautiful beaches mountains and volcanoes.
We are honest and transparent w/ what we see. In all honesty, I feel we gave everything the proper attention it deserved. Days before we arrived a gang was in the streets murdering ppl. Army, police and armed guards were everywhere we went and still we discussed the kindness and beauty of the people. I hope we can visit again after the #cleanup has taken place.
@@TheYarbros yeah this was just a huge anomaly in crime. Ever since President Nayib Bukele got democratically elected by a vast majority into office he and the new congress have been cleaning the mess the left and right corrupt parties made. He is the most popular president in the world (literally). But anyway the reason for the crime spike was that a couple of billionaire investors had come to visit the country and the opposition funded by nefarious foreign governments(any guesses?) were upset that the president installed bitcoin as legal tender and other reasons so they paid these gangs to make the country look horrible . Not a very subtle coincidence.
Totally agree. They mostly visited the areas with high crime. San Benito is safer than most areas in the USA
@@TheYarbros dont' worry, im salvadorean and I feel the same way when I go visit.
@@TheYarbros look like some ONG pay. You to talk only about the gangs and not about the country,, you are the only ones who when to el salvador just to talk about the gangs and not about the beauty of the ciuntry
Wow! Great video..very informative..stay safe and enjoy!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, we will definitely stay safe! Thanks for caring 😄
Bless up my African descendents people
From a Salvadoran Jamaican descendent
Thanks for traveling to the country god might guide and protect yah
Thank you for the love! Blessings to you as well bradah!
I'm surprised you guys still went. El Salvador was on my list for later this year, but all the news from last week had me reconsidering. Glad you guys went and documented your experiences! I still might pass on El Salvador for the time being though.
Yeah, we seriously thought about not going....then we called some ppl there and they let us know that the military were everywhere and had it on lock. Didn't really enjoy any real nights out though...
Yea, I was thinking the same thing.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE USA MEDIA WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE..........THEY INFLICT FEAR ON YOU............what is happening in el salvador is not all over the country....just parts where gangs coexist.....take for instance LOS ANGELES, south central, long beach, east la.....would you want to take a trip there.....of course not...you rather go to where places are nice and calm.........same thing over there. BUY YOUR TICKET AND HEAD OVER THERE....trust me... everything is fine. just use common sense
stay in the main areas for tourist; you'll be fine
El Salvador is safer now than ever before. With so many gang members arrested, there's less crime. Go and visit.
Y’all are brave!!! Nice video.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for visiting our beautiful country and being so open minded and not ignorant like other tourists.
Thanks for hosting us!!!
`Glad you decided to go. The recent weekend of violence was an oddity as ES has become a very safe country since the new president went into office in 2019. The stories you mentioned happened a long time ago. BTW if you go to Pupuseria Las Vegas, up the road from Picnic, you'll find a better view and a longer slide which is free. Lots to learn, glad you're willing. Saludos!
Thank you for watching and educating us about El Salvador!

Nice market great patches! Stay safe. I found a Latin restaurant here in town(Victoria,BC) that has Papusas on their menu! I’m eager to try them!
Hopefully they'll do them right because they are delicious!
Come down to Vancouver lower mainland. There’s 2 places that have authentic pupusas just like ES.
El rinconcito on commercial drive
El Caracol on Victoria Drive (fav)

We will!

👌🏾
That's awesome 👌 guys that you're visiting Central America , thank you, have fun...
Thanks! 😃
Thank you for visiting my beautiful El Salvador.

Thank brother to come to visit El Salvador
Hoping I'm first here! Love your videos.
You are #1 & We love that you love our work!
Just to let y’all know, some of they may refer to you as “negrito “ but they they do not mean it in a mean way. I’m saying this because I took a African-American friend to El Salvador and many people were calling him that but they meant it in a very nice way.
Okay!
thanks for visiting ES
