El Salvador

El Salvador, though one of the world's smaller countries, holds numerous elements of the rest of the Central American region - in miniature. Its proponents claim that the country's ancient Maya sites, volcanoes, jungles, and beaches rival those of its neighbors, while the hospitality of its people is unmatched anywhere in the world. And because of its size, every attraction is easily accessible.
