| The beautiful El Salvador coastline |
We loved the coastline of El Salvador. The big cliffs, crashing surf, and relaxed vibe make for an enjoyable ride.
Least Favorites
We didn't enjoy our time in the city of Usulutan, the only larger city we passed through. The area is not tourist friendly, and when we asked for a hotel we were directed to leave the city. "Tourists don't stay here."
The Basics: Food, Water, Shelter
Food
All you need to know is pupusas. A pupusa is a delicious fat tortilla stuffed with your choice of filling (cheapest is usually beans and cheese) and served with some sort of tomato sauce and cabbage salad. Filling and cheap, we ate pupusas whenever possible. We also ate normal tortillas with fruits, veggies, cheese and beans.

Water
We purified all water with our Steripen. A house or restaurant is always nearby if you need water.
Shelter
Camping options are cheap and plentiful in touristy areas along the beach. A hotel room in a city goes for about $20 with A/C.
Our Route
We crossed the border from Guatemala at La Hachadura and continued across the country on the 2. From the port at La Union we took a boat across the bay to Potosi, Nicaragua.
