Hi! I’m Indonesian living with my French boyfriend in San Salvador. I love traveling, meeting new people and share cultures. I am open to have guests in our second bedroom in our (small) apartment with the view of San Salvador ☺️
Based on 7 experiences
I felt safe overall. I chose accommodations in safe areas like El Tunco and Santa Ana. People were very welcoming, and I didn’t face any issues. What I recommend: Hike Santa Ana Volcano (amazing view, not too hard). Go to El Tunco (beach town, great for surfing), Discover Ataco (small village), relax in Salto de Malacatiupan. El Salvador is very budget-friendly. I stayed in Airbnb's, except when I was in the capital city where I used Hotel Villa Florencia Centro Historico (great hotel!). For transport, I only used a rental car. Walking around towns felt safe in the daytime and evening time. Here's a rough outline of my 2-week trip: Day 1–3: El Zunto/El Tunco Day 4–5: Ataco Day 6–8: Antigua Guatemala (for Easter weekend) Day 9–11: Lago de Coatepeque + Volcano Santa Ana Day 12–14: San Salvador
