Safety

Because of the civil war in the 1980s, El Salvador had a bad reputation. According to the consulate list of the US State Department, El Salvador has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Crime is a problem, and most of it is done by street gangs, although statistics from official sources do not support this claim. You must use common sense and avoid entering a seemingly unsafe area, just like you are in any country in the world. If you are walking on public streets, avoid bringing valuables such as jewelry, expensive cameras, and watches. Women should avoid traveling alone, as they may occasionally hear cat calls and may be excited on a crowded bus. As a foreigner, the response you may get from the police is "failure." If you are pickpocketed or otherwise robbed without harming your people, going to the police station is almost certainly a frustration exercise. As we all know, the police also harass or are not suitable for female travelers. Many Salvadorans have weapons, and gun battles are not uncommon. However, foreigners are not allowed to carry firearms without first obtaining a firearm license from the Salvadoran government, even to protect themselves. Extortion methods include indiscriminate grenade attacks on buses, businesses and restaurants, causing dozens of casualties, including children. These types of attacks are unpredictable, and the U.S. Embassy advises its personnel to remain alert to the surrounding environment and minimize the risk to themselves. For anyone visiting El Salvador, it is best to keep only the necessary forms of identification, such as a driver’s license, when visiting the city or tourist attractions. If you must carry your passport with you at all times, a travel bag allows you to take it with you safely. The police usually require tourists to show their passports, and most people can be sure that a copy of the passport and other forms of identification are sufficient. Others will insist on accompany you back to the hotel to get your real ID. Most tourists like to stay in safe areas in El Salvador, such as Lazonarosa, where there is relatively no crime. If you are not staying in one of the five-star hotels in the country, remember to ask if the city or town you are visiting has a high level of gang activity. According to statistics, in 1996, San Salvador was considered the second most dangerous city in the Western Hemisphere. Since the end of the civil war in 1992, the crime rate in El Salvador has not fallen. Today, San Salvador and El Salvador have the highest homicide rates in the world. Together with Guatemala and Honduras, it is considered the epicenter of the gang crisis. As many as 3,906 homicides were reported in 2006 and 3,779 were reported in 2005; 57.2 deaths per 100,000 people were due to violence. In general, the crime rate has been steadily increasing in the past few years. From 2005 to 2006, the crime rate increased by 7.5%. El Salvador is the most dangerous and violent country in Central America. The government tried to control the gangs with a strategy called "Super Manodura", which means "super strong", but this strategy did not succeed, and the crime rate continued to rise.
