Our country is so beautiful,thank you for visiting us 👍🏻🇸🇻
I had an amazing time! I'm missing pupusas already :)
sad and insulting the church angry 😤 calling it ugly I am
Sure your English vocabulary is more intense use it correctly before calling the sites ugly 😡 disgusted by your words !! You’re are so disrespectful and ignore the meaning of the SITE !! Shame on you!! 3:24 3:43 not once or twice and sarcastically saying how beautifully oh please 🙄… go back where you come from if you are going to behave like that in such sites 😡
Me encantaría conocer El Salvador, saludos desde México!
Mi gente te recibirá con los brazos abiertos. Mi esposo (de padres Mexicanos) le encantó mi país 🇸🇻.

Thank you for visiting us 🇸🇻 We hope you come back soon, we are improving as a nation 🥰
Bienvenidos a nuestro país El Salvador 🇸🇻💙🤗
Actually, some people are surprised at how expensive certain things are here in El Salvador, and then you understand why it is difficult for some people to make ends meet. We have to spend smartly, but there are good places that one can visit with a low budget, and pupusas are always the best choice for eating everywhere because there are delicious and cheap.
Good morning .Amie, I watch this video and I liked a lot. I’m glad you have visited my country. It’s a small country but very friendly. I live in Texas, but salvadorean at heart.
Go ahead and many successes!!
Excellent video, I been in Santa Teresa before and it is so relax place and excellent to treat your skin as well, happy that you had a little time to enjoy El Salvador!!
It's the first time I have ever been to a thermal pool before. I loved it. Some of the pools were so hot!
👌👌 you make me hungry with those delicious pupusas
Hahahaha I miss pupusas!
New subscriber here! Welcome to El Salvador pretty young lady!!! Hope you're enjoying your stay in our small but lovely country...Cheers to you! 💙🇸🇻🙂😎✌️👍...
Thanks for your support! I loved my time in El Salvador. I hope I get to visit again soon.
Love the variety of places you visited and the honesty you projected on your impressions of El Salvador!!
Que grandiosa es la catedral de San salvador NUNCA hé entrado a verla en vivo , pero iré
Tears started coming down when you said "it's clawing it's way to a better future" my country has suffered a lot, we're so happy things are taking a turn for the better. I visited after 20 years and I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness of all salvadoreans after all they've been through. El Salvador it's a small country, but like they say good things come in small packages. Reasons to visit: people are friendly and kind, you can explore multiple places 🏖🌄🏙 in one day, we have delicious food (don't forget to try pupusas 🫓)
El Salvador has an exciting future ahead. I LOVE pupusas!
In El Salvador you can find accomodations for cheaper price, that's what happened when a certain place gets really hype when it gets so many tourists but the difference it's that if you go to California Miami places very very known it gets expensive because of the same reason las time that I was in Miami I bought a beer and a Cuban torta almost 40 dollars for that it is extremely expensive just for that I think it's the same if you go to Sidney there is lot of places to go in El Salvador for example la union San Vicente they have many beautiful places and you'll find better options for you budget just got to do some more research while you there
Yes I agree. Another reason why my accommodation may have been a bit expensive in El Tunco is that I booked late notice. There seemed to be a great selection of hostels, but they were all booked out.
I am sorry that you are not familiar with the way we do business in El Salvador. you got to always bargain, people will always give you the high end of the price because your not from around there, always ask for the lowest price that you can get. Trust me, they will lower their prices. Except in high end hotels or supermarkets, those places are expensive no matter what. Hopefully this helps with your travel through my small little country.
Thanks for the tip. I'm just really bad at bargaining. I think I need to be more confident :)
A few of my friends from Australia have been here in El Salvador since late last year and they were just in La Libertad. I told them it’s not worth visiting because we don’t compare with the rest of Central America tourists wise but they came anyway haha. Safe travels.
I think a lot of Australians are going to La Libertad because the surfing is awesome!
Este video me a motivado más a regresarme a mi bello país
Thanks for visiting El Salvador. I hope you had a great time. come back soon

Se pasan con los turistas ella misma lo dijo muy caro todo el taxi 10 minutos 20 dólares le costó eso sí es pasarse esta llegando el turismo pero así lo están corriendo otra vez
@@Bg-mf3ye El gobierno también lo hace, le cobran doble al extranjero por entrada a parques. No sé si todos los países lo hacen.

You're more than welcome. Thank you for watching!
☺️Rosario Church is a style called Brutalist Architecture. The rainbow is a biblical symbol believe it or not...🌈 It was the symbol God sent to Noah after the great flood, as a promise to never destroy Earth again. 🇸🇻The Coat of Arms of El Salvador also has a rainbow with the same meaning. The pact between God and Noah
Thank you so much for this information! I searched all over the net and even asked a few locals about the architectural choices, but to no avail. I really appreciate you taking the time to inform me. Thank you
To never flood the whole earth to destroy it u mean?…
@@amie.everywhere we normal people don´t know anything about architecture XD we can only tell whether we like it or not hahaha.
Hi beautiful thanks for visiting our country ❤️
So lovely 😊
Welcome to El Salvador!!!!!!!
That’s the same feeling everyone gets when they eat pupusas 😂 5:14
I’m not surprised. They’re sooooo good!
omg! that is well travel~ ;)
I'm glad you like the vlog!
Thank you for visiting our country, hope you enjoy your stay, sorry what happened to you after eating too much pupusas 🤣🤣🤣 , what happens was you eat " cuetido" the cabbage you add to the pupusas , I go there every Xmas from US. And eat pupusas whit no " curtido " cuz you stomach need to be adapted first.. 🤩
I could eat pupusas everyday for the rest of my life! They are so delicious. Thank you for telling me about curtido. Next time I'll know better :)
I really miss the old days when we had our own currency. I’m really embarrassed of how expensive El Salvador has become and I apologize although there’s nothing I can do to change things. I love your video and thank you for visiting. New subscriber here
I remember those days and it effin' sucked!
@@tatin82 get a haircut and Then a job.
Thanks for subscribing! I really appreciate it. San Salvador was really affordable but El Tunco was surprisingly expensive. Totally worth it. It's such a gorgeous country!
@@amie.everywhere El Tunco is such a huge tourist trap. I grew up going there every weekend when it was still relatively unknown and went back a few years ago. Prices have gone up so much.
Do you not know why we adopted the dollar? I suggest you look it up & also learn a little about economics.
beautiful my country ❤❤
Welcome to El Salvador 🇸🇻

Beautiful video professional done
Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventure 😊 Did you get sick from water or food while you were there? I’m going to visit in a few weeks and I’m wondering if I need to be extra careful.
I brushed my teeth with tap water just incase. But I ate plenty of pupusas, fruit and juices from street/market stalls and never got sick. I hope you have a great time!
👍
short answer: Right now on mon Jan 30 with nayib bukele, El salvador is actually safer than all big cities of the United states and Canada.
Is nace there thank you for been my country

🙏💙
I am you new suscriby😊
Awesome! Thanks so much
Y should go to chalatenango el pital
I love the shape of your mouth! My daughter's mouth is like yours!!! I'm going to visit my country on Easter 23!
I'm sharing your video with she now!
Amazing vlog and sense of humor. Could you say that El Salvador is pretty safe for a solo traveler? Cheers!
Solo travelers must study the culture in order to avoid blunders.
Yes, I believe El Salvador can be safe for solo travellers, however there are certain places to avoid or be extra wary. El Tunco is perfect and, in my opinion, extremely safe for solo travellers.
I would say the whole country is now safe, lots of data you see online is old from about 2015-2016 saying its dangerous etc. The country is now considered as safe as Canada due to the new security standards set by the president. Source- I am a Salvadoran-Canadian that visits ES almost every year
All of the touristic places are safe to visit right now …
You should watch more videos from other vlogers that have visit other places not just the capital or el tunco.
Thank yuo for been in my country
El salvador and thanks too show me the el mercado market I love yuo so mash
Lady I love your vid very interesting now let me ask you did you get charge to go inside la Iglesia El Rosario $2 and the private driver charged you $250 for two days that's the car included???
Hi, thank you for watching. Yes I went inside La Iglesia El Rosario for $2. The $250 included driver and car.
U should go to chalatenango el pital
It looks amazing. I'll definitely have to check it out next time I'm in El Salvador!
They got her with the prices lol
Saludos
Violence statistics currently position El Salvador as the country with the least homicides in Latin America.
Wow, I wish I had known this when I made the video. It seems as if I fed into the medias misrepresentation. Hopefully when I get back to El Salvador I can rectify this. Thanks so much for watching!
Quise dar 👍 y no me deja!
Hi nice too meet you Ami. Nice video you are a big girl 💙☝️😳😊
It's look like you weren't lucky enough for taxi fee. I usually go by Uber and pay about $7 average for 20 minutes ride.
It was from El Zunsal to El Tunco (when it was high tide) and there was no Ubers around. The hotel quoted me $20 and said that was the going rate for taxis. I thought it was pretty expensive. $7 sounds much more realistic.
What bukele and Bitcoin did
I love your accent
Thanks! I'm Australian.
@@amie.everywhere Really? I couldn't tell😅Sydney or Queensland area?
Si cote the Salvador
Great video. If you want to keep growing your chanel, come back as soon as possible. Many youtubers try it before and works with a serie of videos about the country and left with a considerable amount of followers
Thanks for the tip! Yes, I agree. I have received so many followers from this video. I finally made it to 1000!
@@amie.everywhere congrats
🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🙏🙏🙏🙏
tamezca lor steam room
my country doesn't have any gang violence anymore...its the safest country in america,the comment you made about wondering too far away from the mercado it s quite exaggerated...
Thanks for watching the vlog. I was told by multiple friends (locals) to be very careful in the markets. My driver actually took me to the top of a near by carpark to have a better view of the markets and pointed out the "safe zones". All I can vlog about is my own experiences, but I appreciate your comment. And I'm so happy that El Salvador is making its way onto more tourist bucketlists.
1.28$ for a pupusa?!! Damn that’s sooo cheap 😢 here where I live each pupusa is 8 bucks 😭😭😭
No se aprovechen de los turista o perderan clientes,porque entre los turistas se pasan la voz ,sean razonables con los precios o nunca los llamaran los turistas otra vez.
Buen consejo. Gracias por visualizar mi video.
Enjoy your vacation guys
Hi, I am from El Salvador and I am telling you that the private guy driver exceeded the price for 2 days, at least $160.00 for 2 days is fair he scam you, en even you can find way cheaper transportation, better look for a tourist guy, even me I can be your guide for free only for practice English.
Yes I thought it was a bit expensive, but I did have trouble trying to find a driver to take us around San Salvador, then up to Ataco, then to El Tunco. I googled private drivers and also asked at my hotel but I couldn't get anything cheaper than $250. It would have been great to find a website of private drivers willing to take tourists around El Salvador. It's a great business idea.
