My country El Salvador

El Salvador República de El Salvador, (Republic of The Savior) is the smallest and the most populated country in Central America.
El Salvador borders the Pacific Ocean on the south, and the countries of Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east. As of 2009, El Salvador had a population of approximately 5,744,113 people, composed predominantly of Mestizos.
Mestizo is a person of mixed racial ancestry, especially of mixed European and Native American ancestry.                                                                                                   

The Colon was the official currency of El Salvador from 1892 to 2001, when it adopted the U.S. Dollar.
The climate in El Salvador is very nice year round! We have dry season (November to April) and wet season (May to October).
Now let's talk about awesome touristic places in El Salvador:
El Boqueron: is the San Salvador volcano, aslo known as Quetzaltepec which is situated northwest to the city of San Salvador.


Joya de ceren: is an archaeological place located in La Libertad.


Cerro Verde: is a volcano who last erupted approximately 2500 years ago.

Lake "Coatepeque": this is a lake formed by the collapse of land by a volcanic eruption.


Beach El Tunco: this is one of the favorite destination spots for those looking for fun, sun, sea, nightlife and some of the best waves for surfing.

This are only a few of the many places you can visit in El Salvador. The best thing about El Salvador is that you can get places very fast and visit more than one place in a day. You can go to the volcano, stop by the city mall and end your day at the beach watching a beautiful sunset. Yes! All in one day! Salvadorans are very friendly and love tourists too!
