My information is now 3 years old so I would advise getting some more recent information, but from our experience in Dec 2010 a local guide did make us feel a lot safer. I’d stress that very little crime goes on against foreigners, and most takes place in the places that as a visitor you’d have no reason to go to.

I am very nervous that my daughter and two other female photographers want to travel here with only one male in the group. If they hire escorts do you think it is risky? They are not staying in a hotel. I will write back when I know the names of the cities.

I was traveled to Ruta de las Flores, and had the pleasure of taking a short hike in bosque El Imposible, I did get there by renting a vehicle.

this year (2013) I am planning on taking another trip there and want to hike and long distance hike in El Impossible. Do you have any ideas how I can get there with our renting a vehicle?

As the proud daughter of Salvadorans, I try to make a trip to my beloved El Salvador as often as I can (usually every other December)…the place is spectacular for the Holidays!! Thanks for this fantastic forum and I wish you continue visiting the “pulgarcito” of the Americas, tiny but very beautiful indeed!

From our own experience we can only say that we had no trouble in either Guatemala or El Salvador. Sure, there are more police in El Salvador and you’ll see a lot more men with guns, but if that’s the price of keeping the gangs out of your part of town…. for the visitors both countries have their own distinct but highly rewarding reasons to go.
