I love El Salvador. This country is so underrated. I wouldn't mind living there. And the people are so lovely. If you get a chance to go to Suchitoto, you won't regret it.

[@Travelwithchris]

Yess!!! I also wouldn't mind staying here a long while!

[@glenndrake3199]

The church en la murial es Iglesia El Calvario and above on the hill top is la cruz. Santuario Inmaculada Concepción de María Is the church at the center of town. Ataco is to el Salvador as Banff is to Canada. Route de flor is incredible.

[@luzcesita11]

Excited to watch this video about Ataco. It's my hubby's favorite pueblo.

Yes!!!! Let me know how you liked it!

[@isabelalvarez7146]

Chris, Gracias por visitar El Pulgarcito de America, este pequeno gran gigante se esta convirtiendo en una gran atraccion para turistas, pero mas que nada, para los salvadorenos que salimos por la inseguridad, ahora con nuestro Presi Bukele y su equipo, todo lo malo quedara en el pasado y el pueblo salvadoreno ya no tendra necesidad de dejar el pais...que alegria!

[@Travelwithchris]

If you are in Ataco, I don't know why call it border town. The departamento Ahuachapán (county) , its neighboring Guatemala, but Ataco is not close to the limits. But nice video, I like you try everything. I miss the ZAPOTE, a lot

I eat street food also everywhere I go and no big Issues, sometimes you get a little runny a** but that's it:) The only time I had a problem was in Kenya where I got salmonella and had to be on 14 days antibiotics to stop it:) And there I was only on hotel food, so that tells you something! :) a tip for all, if the food is spicy is good, coz that kills all the bacteria! and tip no. 2: always have a shot of strong liqueur before or after you have eaten your food :) same effect all bacteria dead and you happy :))) and smiley the rest of the day! :)

Hey man, thanks for the video. I’m actually taking my family this year, funny thing is that I was 5 or 6 when I walked those same streets, I’m actually from Santa Ana but my grandmother is from there. I love that place. My aunt has or had (not sure) a panaderia and used to sell in that very same Mercado. Thanks for the memories flash back.

I actually didn't buy a sim at all these last two weeks, usually I do though. Here you can find sim cards everywhere and you can load them for the week.... way cheaper than paying to use your normal plan overseas. But man wifi is literally found everywhere, no need for one 💪🏻

We call it Maquilishuat, an indigenous name, (Tabebuia rosea), It's the national tree. There are two types, pink and white flowers, or at least I think is the same kind.

Super useful vidoes, thinking of coming to El Salvador very soon. People are talking about the Mara gangs and that it's dangerous there. I always take this kinda news with a pinch of salt - hence I'm in Mexio. Please can you let me know what your take on this is? I'm also liking the short vids like this one.

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes!!! You have to come visit soon! I'll be hosting a group trip to El Salvador the first week of November and you're more than welcome to join! I don't think it is unsafe at all! Like everywhere in the world it is always wise to be aware of your surroundings and not be flashy, but here in El Salvador I haven't felt uncomfortable once and I think it is because the country has cleaned up so much.

[@Travelwithchris]

And you'll never accidentally end up in an area where there are gangs if you come as a tourist.... it just won't happen at all ☺️

[@ScubaLui]

@@Travelwithchris Awesome. Thanks for the advice. I hoped that was the case. I'm here on Cozumel Island in Mexico - super safe, chilled and relaxed. My friend who lives here, says that sometimes there is cartel fighting, but it doesn't affect tourists coming here - highly unlikely to ever come across it. I've been here nearly 6 months - no trouble at all.

Our former president retired our original currency which was El Colón and brought in the dollar. And even though our people are getting paid in dollars, it is the equivalent of what it would’ve been in Colones. Everything its very expensive for them.
