El Salvador: Is it really dangerous? (EP 59)
Is El Salvador a dangerous country to travel to?
Last week we left Guatemala after a month of travel there. In this episode we cros the border to El Salvador and embark for a week of overlanding through the country. Security is the first thing that comes to mind as for years the country was high on the sad ranking of countries with the highest rate of homicides per capita. and news related to salvadoran gangs activities are sadly famous. But things changed…
In this episode we embark on a journey and discover whether it is indeed dangerous to travel and overland through El Salvador. The countryside, the city, the mountain and the beach we go to a variety of places talk to many people and try to understand the reality of security in the country.
We hope you enjoy the ride! and next week we go to Honduras!
Have a good week and untill next Saturday, Take care
Nick & Mathilde

It's good to hear about the much improved security in El Salvador. I taught with a woman whose family came from there and she mentioned how dangerous it was. Amazing what a quick turnaround...shows how we can make changes and improves the lives of everyone. You two make great ambassadors wherever you travel....that's a great skill that very few people have. A smile and conversation will do wonders.

@@NextMeridianExpedition if a relative gets arrested it will be for a good reason. No one is being arrested without criminal charges. There is a small percent of people wrongfully arrested however have been ralease, around one thousand out of 60 thousand. The margen of error is very minimal. Any who anyone in jail will always say was convicted wrongfully and claim to be innocent. However a court always decides otherwise. In El Salvador these rights haven’t been taken away.. they all go thru the process. It’s just a quicker process instead of waiting for years before getting convicted or release. If anything this quicker way of the judicial system it’s better than old judicial system, the old judicial system could be easily bought. We Salvadorans are happy about the change and want to keep it that way. Thank you for sharing the reality of our country El Salvador.

I Watch your video because it was in English, I tend to see what the world is saying about my beautiful small country, and for the most part I am very thankful and happy when outsiders visit, BUT I felt that from the opening few seconds of your video, every good you said was countered with lots of negative, beach was crowded, river water was dirty, pupusas tasted like ham, cheese and bacon, as you mentioned El Salvador USED to be a very violent and dangerous place and if you didn’t experience it, it’s hard to understand the trauma thousands of people lived through, street vendors were getting killed for not paying rent to gangs, if your brother or relatives lived a few blocks away and you were unable to visit because you were considered a rival and could easily be kill, for just visiting, any ways if you never experienced it you can’t understand, therefore YOU saying that innocent people are jailed , get informed and get a small glimpse of what these people lived through for many decades, I was very disappointed with your video and was kind of glad you left quickly, we need optimism not pessimism…..thank you….

Hi Rafael, we are sorry it came across this way to you. We repeated several time we really enjoyed travelling in El Salvador untill the last minute of the video that is the conclusion : super positive time . I think if you read the comments people see it is a positive feedback for the great majority. We explained for instance it was super busy because it is Holy Week That s just because that was our experience. As you say as well, We surely cannot grasp all of it as, as you say, we can’t understand all of it in this short time. I would expect someone visiting my country to criticize the dirtiness and paris, moodiness of French people and how the government handles demonstrations if that’s what he or she feels from his or her experience. But again I am sorry if you felt too much negativity in this video. It was not meant that way and I hope more people will see the positive aspects highlighted. All the best. PS: we think you are right to raise those points. And your pov is fair. So we hope this response does not trigger negative debates either 😊

Rafael, it’s good to have other points of views; over all it was a good point of view. I do understand that they would have needed to live what we Lived as Salvadorians to understand the reality of the process we are going thru. She was right on the margen of error, there is always a margen of error in judicial systems; that’s anywhere. The other day I was watching a black man being release in Georgia after serving 40 years in prison for a wrongfully rape murder conviction. anywho as a Salvadorian I do understand where you are coming from mi hermano. La verdad que estamos felices que finalmente tenemos un gobierno que trabaja para el pueblo 🙏. La verdad no se miraban también las pupusas 😂.. a mi me gusta viajar por El Salvador y ya casi no se encuentra buenas pupusas 🫣. Por el negocio yo creo que ya ni compran el buen queso. Las de casas son siempre mejor que las de afuera. Saludos

The issue of violence and gang problems were more for the local people, those whom had to endure gang activities in the communities etc those whom had to pay “rentas.” And not for foreigners, if anything foreigners were good for business. I visited many bars in Acajutla, bars run and control by gangs, and foreigners were treated well, saw many sailers from other countries had a good time while gang members were inside the same bar. So the issue was more for locals, not for those traveling or visiting and of course for those whom didn’t look close to being a gringo 😂.

Good video about El Salvador, however, I did take objection with one of your comments. There are innocent people being accused of committing a crime and imprisoned all over the world. For example, in the US, where I lived for most of my life, in France, etc. No country is exempt from this and no judicial system is perfect. All the state of emergency did was extend from 3 days to 15 days the time the authorities have to detain you and prove you committed a crime because of the high number of cases as detainments increased. Also, if they have probable cause they can go into your house and check your phone and other personal belongings. For those of us who lost a family member to gang crime, we see things differently from others because we focus more on our lost ones and the potential victims than on the criminals and the few innocents who will be freed once nothing is found against them, as has been the case of some of my friends.
I loved El Salvador so much. Visit Suchitoto if you can! Just breathtaking little town with amazing people, art, food, coffee, history.
