Top 10 Places To Visit in El Salvador - Travel Guide

[@xiongbear.travel]

El Salvador looks stunning! It’s crazy how the country went from one of the most dangerous to one of the most safe in the Americas in less than 10 years.

[@RyanShirley]

It really is a miracle what has happened there! I never would have expected it to turn out how it is today

[@m35926]

Yeah, it's almost like punishing crime reduces it.

[@luiskreuzer8054]

Awesome !!🎉

[@johnm84]

It's incredible and it's thanks to President Nayib Bukele and God.

[@ScenicRelaxationFilms]

One of the best countries in Central America 🌋🇸🇻🏝️🏄‍♀️

[@NickShirley]

Nayib is a legend 👑

[@RyanShirley]

He really is!

[@johnm84]

He is a great man and he is a great leader.

[@Rachel-mp6kf]

Nick is a legend! 🙌🏽

[@John_Fugazzi]

It was interesting that you were in El Salvador in a non-tourist capacity ten years ago. I never would have guessed that. I'm glad they cracked down on crime and restored safety to the country. I've never been to Central America myself, though I have considered Costa Rica. Now I'll add El Salvador to my possibilities. The Santa Ana volcano looked very impressive.

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks so much John! I was 18 and I had seen very little of the world, it was a very hard but transformative 2 years, I also spent half of my time in Belize so it was a nice change in scenery!

[@kevinszymczak4732]

My thoughts exactly, John. Happy to see I can get excited to visit central america for a change!

[@heatherhs]

El Salvador is amazing!!🤩

[@RyanShirley]

It truly is 🇸🇻

[@azradietrich1215]

I visited El Salvador when I was a kid back in 2012. Very glad to see the country doing a 180, very much deserved. I’d love to revisit again next year and see in person how much it’s changed, thank you for posting this :)

[@RyanShirley]

That’s awesome you went in 2012! What parts did you visited? It’s changed so much in the last 12 years

[@krompkap09]

I remember being a kid and visiting el cuco and las tunas beaches, the incredible seafood and everything that region had to offer but hands down best beach I remember is costa del sol in la paz, won’t forget those hot summer nights. Really glad to see this video.

[@RyanShirley]

Wow is your family from El Salvador? I gotta visit Costa Del Sol next time I go, looks amazing 🏝️

leaving aside the penitentiary, which despite being much discussed for the harsh treatment reserved for prisoners, has certainly eliminated, but only in part, very dangerous gangs, which had terrorized the country for years.
The whole territory is spectacular: history, art, nature, culture and breathtaking landscapes... the documentary you gave us shows all the best, thanks Ryan!👍👍👍👍

[@darlingtarot5937]

I just booked my ticket for Feb and I can't wait!!! I've read online that some people rent a car and some use public transit. From your video it sounds like you drove most places, or were you driven by someone else? How is parking? That's my only concern w a rental. Thanks so much!!!

[@sofotographic]

So many epic photography locations there bro.
That volcanic hike is one I can only dream about unfortunately. I discovered an altitude sickness while in Banff 2 years ago. This guy can't do 7000 ft lol.
I gotta ask though, did you feel safe? Like actually?

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks so much brother! 7000 feet is high up, you really start to feel the shortness of breath! I don’t know how people manage to climb big mountains like Everest.
And at first I was nervous it would be sketchy, but once I got there I felt super safe. Police and security everywhere and the people are so kind and welcoming

So many places to see!

[@hikecamptrekk1540]

I have always thought that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should be the one to build the largest monument to Jesus Christ in the plaza of El Salvador. I am sure that a Visitor Center next to the plaza would bring enormous opportunities to share the restored gospel and our Lord would have a worthy monument in the country that bears his name. 🇸🇻🫶🙏

[@RyanShirley]

That would be really cool if they do that! They are building a second temple in Santa Ana soon which I’m excited about.

[@ThekiBoran]

Doesn't the LDS believe that Jesus and satan are brothers?
