@mariaochoa86212 years ago Tourists are not targeted here, if there is crime it would be between gangs, never tourists or regular people. Loved your video 👍 6

@rosab6259last month Thank you for the tour and the advice on treating masseuses like human beings. My mom is a masseuse in Guatemala and it was heartbreaking to hear stories of people being mean to her. She is a very petite lady and had to massage many obese customers… fun times. ... 1

@eduardoinforma23962 years ago Thank you for visiting El Salvador. Great video, however, I disagree with you on a couple of points. I'm a local tour guide and I also receive backpackers from all over the world. The vast majority of travelers I've hosted have used public transport and to this day, not one of them has reported having been robbed to me. I do follow up with them after they leave the country, btw. So it depends on who is giving you advice. Another subscriber mentioned that tourists are not the target, locals are. This is 100% true. However, safety has improved tremendously compared to a couple of years ago. El Salvador is on its way to becoming one of the safest places to visit in Latin America, not just Central America. Unfortunately, its past reputation precedes it. The other point I disagree with you on is how expensive it is. You mentioned meals can range from $10-$25. Speaking as a local, I find that you can get a meal for $2.50 at a local family-style restaurant all over the country, this includes the beverage. Pupusas are the typical dish here and offer a great option for travelling on a budget at $0.50-$1.00 each. Now, if you choose American-style eateries (fast food), you will pay US prices ($5-$10). I do agree with the road infrastructure being one of the best in Central America and the plastic pollution and trash being a problem. Salvadorans need to be worthy caretakers of this great gem of a country! ... 2

@MrParecequevallover2 years ago Loved the editing! Glad you enjoyed your stay! 😊 Regarding public transportation, I agree with the people who told you not to use it lol I haven't used it in years for that same reason. When I was in college I used public transportation a couple times and I got robbed. Some people are more prone to get robbed than others but usually tourists are not the target. I guess I was just unlucky because thieves can tell if you are scared or are not used to public transportation. ... 3

@jonathanezequielnietoanaya95032 years ago En realidad los asaltos en unidades de transporte han caído muchísimo. Al punto que me siento con más libertad de sacar mi móvil al menos en las rutas que yo uso en el transporte publico. Lo que si puede suceder es que te roben sin que te des cuenta (y cuirosamente son casi que ancianos los que roban en autobuses) si andas cartera o teléfono en un bolsillo del pantalón o camisa o en la cubierta de tu maletín. Por eso es mejor meterlo en una parte profunda del maletín (si andas)
En cuanto a rutas hay una aplicación muy buena, de teléfono llamada: "eseBus". Esa apps muestra los recorridos de casi todas las rutas del país y también está clasificado segun cada departamento del país (o la mayoría de departamentos) He usado esa apps ya por un año y jamás me ha decepcionado. ... 1

@juanberriosjr71882 years ago BS when it to dangerous public transportation dude!! Just because the poor folks use the transport does not mean your going to get rob. Lots of non National tourist including myself take ‘chicken buses’ with no excitement other than seen how buses transform into snack vendor heaven at every stop. Lol 😂 ... 4
