What Remains of the World’s Murder Capital? 🇸🇻 (El Salvador Today)

This is episode 1 of my 30-day South America series, starting with a layover in San Salvador. Once known as the murder capital of the world, I wanted to see what the city is actually like today. In this video, I explore the city center, visit the new national library for one of the best views in San Salvador, and try traditional food like pupusas and horchata. I also walk through a local market, visit a mosque - Mezquita Dar Ibrahim for Jummah, and experience the culture firsthand. Later, I visit Alquimia Coffee, ranked #3 in the World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops, where I try some of the most unique coffee I’ve had so far. This is my first impression of El Salvador as I begin travelling through South America. 🌍 How I stay connected while travelling: I use Yesim (eSIM) to stay connected anywhere in the world without needing physical SIM cards.
