Money-saving tips

Currency: The official currency of El Salvador has been the United States Dollar (USD) since 2001. It is not necessary to exchange currencies if you travel with dollars. Bitcoin is also legal tender, although its use is not widespread.

Security: El Salvador has seen a drastic improvement in security in recent years, turning many tourist areas into safe places. However, as in any country, it is important to use common sense, avoid known risk areas (especially at night) and consult official travel recommendations.

Transport: Renting a car offers the most flexibility for exploring the country. In cities, services like Uber are a safe and affordable option. For a local experience, 'chicken buses' (colourful buses) connect throughout the country, although they can be slow and crowded.

Courtesy and Treatment: Salvadorans are generally very friendly, polite and hospitable. A 'good morning' or 'good afternoon' upon entering a place is appreciated. People value kindness and respect in treatment.
