[quote=Anonymous]So, OP, you're going to run into a few people with responses, as you can already see:

-Travelers who refer to State Dept website and see El Sal as one of the most dangerous countries, therefore a non-starter
-Travelers who say poo to the "danger" and find that it is an inviting country and a hidden gem of a tourist destination
-Salvadorans like me who would love to go back (we left on foot when I was 8, and I haven't been back since my early 20s) but could never forgive myself if something happened to my Americanized family, which would definitely be seen as a rich target for would-be thieves and other no-goods.

Will you be murdered there?  Probably not.  Will you get mugged or have something stolen.  Maybe, but probably not.  But you're not going to find a consensus here.  I have family who stuck it out during the civil war years (through bribes)  and are now very prosperous, have multiple homes, house servants, live in gated compounds, and send their kids to expensive private schools and eventually American universities.  But that is not the norm.[/quote]
