El Salvaduragua

El Salvador, Honduras and to a lesser extent Nicaragua is considered to be one of the world’s “most dangerous regions”. The reality is El Salvador and the Honduras do have high murder rates. And Nicaragua did experience horrific political violence including the murder and torture of student protestors over the past year. But our journey through this region was not dangerous. We received a warm welcome by the people of the Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua and never felt unsafe, although we did take common sense precautions.
