El Salvador is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America. It is also the only country in the region without a Caribbean coastline. But what it misses in size and coastline it surely makes up for in sheer beauty and hospitality.
Friendly people are abundant in El Salvador, along with freshly grilled pupusas (the national staple dish frequently served everywhere), volcanoes, steep roads carving through lush landscapes and lots of coffee. There is a sort of inexplicable positive atmosphere everywhere and I truly loved our time in the country.
A Pacific sunset to die for. Truly one of the most stunning scenes I’ve ever witnessed!
Colored houses are everywhere in Central America. This is the cozy town of Suchitoto.
Walking into a restaurant, I had no idea this would be the view from our table.
Holy views.

Street after street filled with markets.
I’ll be back.
