Introducing El Salvador
Travel Alert: Criminal activity is a problem in El Salvador; see the Dangers & Annoyances section for details.

You mention being interested in the civil war and they turn around and ask you: 'Isn't it dangerous there?' You remind them the war has been over since 1992, for more than a decade. They're not convinced - and they may never be. But that's their loss.
