4.2 Security


As of July 28, 2010, the ISOS Rating for El Salvador is MEDIUM. The ISOS summary of risk is as follows:
“Opportunistic and violent crime present the main security risks to foreign personnel. Individuals are targeted based on perceived wealth and it is advisable to exercise caution while in tourist areas and crowded marketplaces. Street crime, such as bag-snatching, is a problem. Travelers to the Honduran border region should consider travelling with a local guide because there are concerns over landmines and unexploded ordnance close to the border. The country is vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes during the Caribbean region's hurricane season (June-November), which can cause severe travel disruption. Internal travel and communications are complicated by infrastructure deficiencies”

As of July 28, 2010, the U.S. State Department has no Travel Warnings for El Salvador. This trip is registered with the U.S. Embassy. Up-to-date security information can be found by calling 1-888-407-3737 in the U.S./Canada or 202-501-4444. This line is open from 8am-8pm Eastern Time M-F. The U.S. State Department security entry on El Salvador reads (in part) as follows.

“Most travelers to El Salvador experience no safety or security problems, but the criminal threat in El Salvador is critical.  Random and organized violent crime is endemic throughout El Salvador.  U.S. citizens have not been singled out by reason of their nationality, but are subject to the same threat as all other persons in El Salvador.  See the section below on Crime for additional related information.

Political or economic issues in the country may give rise to demonstrations, sit-ins or protests at any time or place, but these activities occur most frequently in the capital or on its main access roads.  U.S. citizens are cautioned to avoid areas where demonstrations are being held and to follow local news media reports or call the U.S. Embassy for up-to-date information. “

In 2011 El Salvador was named one of the main drug smuggling routes with Mexican cartels (Zetas) and local gangs (Maras) involved. EWB-USA issued warning for teams traveling to Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
