EL SALVADOR WAS VOTED BY LONELY PLANET AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 COUNTRIES TO VISIT IN 2010!!

This may not be the first place that comes to your mind when you're thinking of where to go on vacation, and that's exactly why you should be!

Why is this tiny country a great vacation destination in Central America? Let me tell you why…

Here we enjoy warm sunny days, sandy beaches, great food and the people are hospitable, warm and friendly.

So what makes it different than other Central America destinations you ask?

… The only thing you won’t find here is the masses of tourists you find in other Central American vacation spots!

I know because I grew up there and when I talk to tourists, time and time again, I hear the same comment – “this is a great place to visit and we had the beach almost all to ourselves!”…

It doesn't get much better than that, don't you think?

Tourism of El Salvador is growing, but it's not yet an over crowded destination so now is a good time to take advantage of this before the rest of the world discovers it!

But first let me tell you why WE like to go on vacation there…

We did live there; actually I grew up in San Vicente in the Jiboa Valley with the impressive Chinchontepec volcano in the background (pictured below), so we love it here!

But that’s not the only reason why we like this place, really!

My family and I don’t live there any more but we still go to visit frequently. We keep going back because there we find all we really want in a vacation destination…

Great weather - it's always sunny, beautiful sandy beaches where you can do whatever you want - swim, surf, dive, sunbathe, and the food is super delicious like pupusas, sopa de mondondo, nuegados, yum, it's so good. And of course we also get to see our relatives and friends.

But what about you, what makes El Salvador a great destination for you? Check out some of the reasons…

• Great weather all year round
• Is not over-crowded by tourists yet
• Central American beaches at its best
• Endless fun and exciting things to do and see
• Delicious food to enjoy all day long
• Less expensive than other popular destinations in Central America
• Excellent options for accommodations

Salvadorian beaches are becoming very popular among the surfing world. The weather is excellent, the waves and point breaks are awesome and are considered to be some of the best in Central America.

We’re not surfers, but we sure do enjoy sitting on the beach watching those who seem to surf the waves effortlessly. Are you a surfer? What do you like about surfing there?

But there’s more to this beautiful country than beaches, there are many towering volcanoes and mountains to hike, ancient Mayan ruins to visit and beautiful tropical forests with many exotic creatures.

We love hiking the trails on mountain parks like Cerro Verde and El Boquerón – you can see El Boquerón volcano pictured below.

We love these tropical forests, the animals and flora we can see are just amazing. You know you can spot the Torogóz (El Salvador's national bird) in El Boquerón – it’s a really cool looking bird!

The capital city of San Salvador is one of the most modern in Central America.

And of course, we can't forget about doing some vacation shopping! San Salvador is great for this, you can visit Metro Centro which is the largest shopping center in all of Central America!

In San Salvador, you can do just about anything you like; from museums to parks to night life – it’s all here!

I always try to speak with other tourists and time and time again, I hear that one of the things they enjoy the most is the people!

Salvadorians are known for their hospitality and warm, smiling faces. Being hospitable and having a positive attitude is a very strong part of our culture which many people enjoy.
