Solo travel experience
I traveled alone to El Salvador and was an amazing surprise. It’s beautiful, the people are so friendly and welcoming. I never felt unsafe, not even at night in San Salvador. I really enjoyed it.
Posted: October 17, 2023Solo travel experience
I did a 4-day solo trip to El Salvador and really enjoyed it. Normally, I’d do things on my own with a car rental, but I decided to book a 4-day customized tour (guide & transport included) and I felt 100% safe. I visited beautiful waterfalls, cute towns, good hikes on volcanoes, had great coffee, etc.

I loved El Salvador. I stayed in El Tunco for a long weekend to enjoy the beach. I went surfing, visited the waterfalls, and ate all the pupusas. I just rode the bus everywhere there. After that, I hired a driver to take me to the ruins, visit Cotepeque, hike the Santa Ana volcano, hike in Cerro Verde and go on the Route of Flowers.
