I get a lot of people asking me, “is El Salvador safe?” A lot of the time, they don’t believe my answer.

Like anywhere in the world, you do need to take some precautions while traveling in El Salvador. Probably a few more precautions than you would in many other countries. But is El Salvador safe for travel? Absolutely.

Reporting on El Salvador, especially in the U.S., is largely sensational. Of course, it is true that there is gang violence in El Salvador. Yes, they do have a homicide rate that’s much higher than average (although on the Global Peace Index, they fall only one spot below the United States).

But you know where else you’ll find plenty of gang violence? California and Chicago. People still go to both of those places and have a fantastic time. Why? Because the crime and violence is largely contained to certain areas and certain people and rarely affects the experience of a tourist. In fact, gang violence is almost wholly invisible to tourists, whether in Chicago or El Salvador. This is why most people who travel to either location end up questioning whether real danger even exists. They don’t see it. I’ve asked many other tourists and Salvadorans – is El Salvador safe? They all generally say the same thing.

These gangs don’t extort tourists. They extort local business owners who live there permanently and can pay them a regular monthly sum. I’ve also never seen any gang members during multiple visits to El Salvador, and I’ve never heard of gang activity in the towns where I’ve been. All I’ve ever heard in regards to whether or not El Salvador is safe for tourists is petty theft at some rural tourist attractions, like the Los Chorros waterfall in Juayúa, which can be easily avoided by taking a guide for a few dollars.
If you decide to travel to El Salvador:

Be aware of your surroundings.Avoid walking or driving at night.Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.Be extra vigilant when visiting banks or ATMs.Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry.Engage local guides certified by the national or local tourist authority when hiking in back country areas.Visit our website for Travel to High-Risk Areas. Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.Review the Crime and Safety Report for El Salvador.U.S. citizens who travel abroad should always have a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the Traveler’s Checklist.
