Would like to add El Salvador/Central America to PBH

"Get off the gringo trail with

a free backpacker travel guide

to the entire world

written by travelers like you.

On PBH (poorbuthappy), we want to create a free backpackers travel guide to the world, that you can print out and take with you.

We only have a few countries now, we're just getting started. Let us know if you want to add a country."

Travel to El Salvador, a small country, once war torn, in the heart of Central America is now booming! Many wanderers are enroute to South America, a few are braving the Darien Gap route, sailing or by land and most others hop over from Panama by plane.

Our neighbors are Guatemala, a 5 hour bus ride from Guatemala City to San Salvador and Honduras, a 7 hour bus ride from San Salvador to capital city of Teguciglapa, Honduras, Nicaragua is a 10 hour bus ride and San José, teh capital of Costa Rica is 9 hours distant from Managua in Nicaragua. The last leg of the journey is San José, Costa Rica to Panama city, some 16 hours via 'Tica Bus' www.ticabus.com/

Contact us and stop in and see us, even if you do not wish travel services, enroute, take a break form the Internet and tell some travel stories good old fashioned way f2f!

Ciao.

Isn't there still a lot of issues going on in El Salvador?....

Never had an interest in going there... But, didn't a lot of Salvadoreans get refugee status in the U.S?

Oh well...

I watched Oliver Stone's 'Salvador' for the first time in twenty years last night.

I too, would like to learn more about Central America.

i travelled through there and its fine last year but the central of the capital city san salvador around the market area is very dodgy even in the daytime. i went to the amazing coast line too on the border with guetamala which was right off the beaten track where u stay in huts and stuff. on the downside it is very westernised especially in the capital where u see a proliferation of american owned eateries and restaurants everywhere and car dealers. like all capital cities in central america apart from panama and mexico, the capital is best avoided but there is a place called ' la piedra/el puerto del diablo just outside the city for some breathtaking views...

anyone need any travel tips on central or south america....escribeme pronto sin problemas

hasta siempre che

Juanes- I've a friend who spent a few months in rural Guatemala. He just says it's boring. He also lived for a couple of years in Honduras. He says it was a bit of a slum. What's your take on these places?
