The most famous aspect of El Salvador today is its volcanic landscape. El Salvador offers a whole new experience - watching a country strive to redefine itself. International organizations are helping to rebuild El Salvador, and participating in these developments and talking to the locals about their experiences and hopes are perhaps the most productive ways to visit.
Most travellers tend to skip El Salvador, owing to its reputation for crime and a lack of headline sites. Yet crime against tourists is no worse than in other countries in the region and, because it's still relatively unknown, travellers to El Salvador have the place virtually to themselves. Nowadays, the landscape is the country's most turbulent feature - volcanoes arise from flat valleys and lakes fill ancient craters - and the country's people are surely its richest resource.
