El Salvador Travel Guide - An Amazing Adventure
El Salvador is a country in Central America and, geographically, is part of continental North America. It is bordered on the southwest by the Pacific Ocean, and lies between Guatemala and Honduras. It is divided into 14 sections called Departments. It has 25 volcanoes, 14 lakes, and three large cities and is divided in to East, Central and West with the the capital San Salvador in the central region, Santa Ana in the west and San Miguel the largest city in the east.
The civilization of El Salvador dates from the pre-Columbian time, around 1500 BC, according to evidence provided by the ancient structures of Tazumal in Chalchuapa. El Salvador has a tropical climate with pronounced wet and dry seasons. Temperatures vary primarily with elevation and show little seasonal change. The Pacific lowlands are uniformly hot; the central plateau and mountain areas are more moderate.

The countryside of El Salvador is breathtaking, with volcanoes and mountains offering green adventurers exactly what they are looking for. Many of environmentally-oriented community-based organizations promote eco-tourism, and there are a number of beautiful and secluded beaches and forests scattered throughout the country.
A well-maintained and sparsely populated national park is found in the west at Bosque El Imposible. Additionally, there is Montecristo Cloud Forest, and a quaint fishing village with incredible local hospitality and remote coconut islands in La Isla de Méndez. Isla de Olomega in the department of San Miguel is an excellent eco-tourism destination, as are the beautiful Isla El Cajete in Sonsonate, Isla San Sebastian, Conchagua, Conchaguita, Isla Conejo, Isla Teopan, and Isla Meanguera.
One should also visit the colonial towns of Ataco, Apaneca, Juayua, Panchimalco, and Suchitoto as well as the Mayan sites of San Andrés, Joya de Cerén (The Pompeii of Central America and an UNESCO World Heritage Site), and Tazumal, whose main pyramid rises some 75 feet into the air. The on-site museum showcases artifacts from the Pipil culture (the builders of Tazumal), as well as paintings that illustrate life in pre-Hispanic El Salvador. Souvenir hunters will find some of the best artisans in San Juan el Espino and in La Palma (the artisan capital of El Salvador).
The capital, San Salvador, is a cosmopolitan city with good restaurants highlighting the country’s fresh seafood, as well as plenty of shopping, entertainment and nightlife. San Miguel in the East offers tourists a more authentic way to see El Salvador by getting off the beaten track to see its countryside, coastline and lakes

Rio Dulce Guatemala | Jewel of the Guatemalan Caribbean | 90+ Countries with 3 Kids
Welcome to the wonderful Rio Dulce, an extraordinary river in Guatemala!
Did you know that the movie “The New Adventures of Tarzan” was entirely filmed here in 1935? The beautiful rainforest you see in the movie is hidden in Guatemala and still well-preserved. To get a good shot of the forest they had to use some locations using the railroad service in Guatemala.
It is a spectacular place rich with flora and fauna, great views, folklore, beaches, and traditional locals. Being so breath-taking, many people call it the jewel of the Guatemalan Caribbean. A great place where you can spend the most peaceful time with the family.
Being a part of a lake and river system known as the department of Izabal, it is a great sailboat cruising destination. Rio Dulce flows out of the Lake Izabal and is soon spanned by one of the biggest bridges in Central America.
On one side of the bridge is the town El Relleno and a nearby orphanage Casa Guatemala that provides children with education and nourishment. On the other side is the town of Fronteras. It is considered to be the center of Rio Dulce, sometimes called by the same name, and many people arrive by canoes to visit the town because it contains a local vegetable market.

A Tourist's Guide to Copan, Honduras
I set off from San Salvador at 4.30am, driving to the Guatemalan border, stopping off at the El Salvadorian town of Santa Ana before crossing over. Then after two hours of driving across the pot-holed roads of Guatemala, we finally reach the border with Honduras.
Then we get to see the Copan ruins, as well as visiting the nearby town.
A long day, but well worth it.
Multiplaza Shopping Mall, San Salvador, El Salvador, Nov 2016
Multiplaza Shopping Mall, San Salvador, El Salvador, Nov 2016
This is another shopping mall in San Salvador, El Salvador.
In San Salvador, I noticed many stores and businesses use English, and try to emulate the USA. I didn't really try to speak English with people though. So I don't know how many English speakers there are. The very last clip of the video is actually in a coffee shop in a different shopping mall called Multicentro.
Camera: Samsung S7 phone.
Rural school band - El Salvador 2007
July 2007 - A rural school's band and drill team practice for the September 15 Independence Day celebration. Morazán department, El Salvador. Interestingly, there are academic classes going on right next to the practice area; the teachers insisted the kids learn to block it out, but as a teacher myself, I have my doubts.
This is one of my favorite videos from that trip -- would that it were longer! No comments on the quality, though; taken with a very basic still camera and no knowledge of video.

Giant' s Causeway A calcada dos Gigantes
Giant' s Causeway - Uma das 7 novas maravilhas do mundo. As pedras asselham-se a uma colmeia.
A Calçada dos Gigantes (em inglês Giant's Causeway) é a designação dada a um conjunto de cerca de 40 000 colunas prismáticas de basalto, encaixadas como se formassem uma enorme calçada de pedras gigantescas, formadas pela disjunção prismática de uma grande massa de lava basáltica resultante de uma erupção vulcânica ocorrida há cerca de 60 milhões de anos. A formação está localizada na costa nordeste da Irlanda, a cerca de 3 quilómetros a norte da vila de Bushmills, no condado de Antrim, Irlanda do Norte. Foi declarada como Património da Humanidade pela UNESCO em 1986 sob o nome de Calçada dos Gigantes e sua Costa, e como Reserva Natural em 1987.
The Giant's Causeway (or Irish: Clochán na bhFómharach) is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, about two miles (3 km) north of the town of Bushmills. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987 by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (36 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
The Giant's Causeway is today owned and managed by the National Trust and it is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland.
