In this travel vlog, I am backpacking through Central America, entering San Salvador, El Salvador, to see if the world’s former murder capital is actually safe in 2026. After years of being avoided by world travelers due to street gangs and corruption, President Nayib Bukele’s new security measures have transformed the country into one of the safest destinations in the Americas, but I wanted to see the reality for myself beyond surf towns like El Tunco. Join me for 48 hours in the heart of San Salvador as I embark on a solo walking tour through local neighborhoods and the bustling central market to experience authentic Salvadoran culture and street food. We are diving deep into the local food scene, tasting the national dish of pupusas, daring to try garrobo (iguana meat), and the oiliest, most delicious tongue tacos and quesadillas in the city center. I also came across the most beautiful woman in San Salvador at the mercado central. This video is for every adventurous traveler, foodie, and backpacker wondering if El Salvador is worth visiting or if the media’s claims about safety are true. From extreme travel first impressions to a deep dive into exotic food and hidden city gems, this is the ultimate 2026 San Salvador travel guide for those looking to explore the real El Salvador. My Name is EF and I like to Get Oily!
