The Best Book On El Salvador Travel Ever!

For years I looked for a book that would cover travel to El Salvador. I have been married to a Salvadorena for 16 years and have made five trips to the country since 1991. I love El Salvador, its beauty and its wonderful people. You can't travel there without this book! Buy it today!

This book is the best

I'm Salvadoran and I'm married to a Jewish-American woman. She bought this book for us to take a tour in El Salvador. Let me tell you, this is the best guide book I've ever read. It's so easy to use and it has ALL the information about this little beautiful country that you need. I even used some of the information on my website, of course with the permission from the authors. Thank you Jeff, Julian and Veronica for making this possible.

The most comprehensive guide to El Salvador I have read

Jeff Brauer, et al, have given us an insight into the real guts of El Salvador. The detail regarding real people - artisans, shopkeepers, workers and characters - is just what one needs to have a truly great adventure in El Salvador. We were in El Salvador in 1993, travelling on our own. We had some great adventures - but this book would have been an ideal travel companion.

Excellent!!

Last year I traveled throughout El Salvador for two weeks and couldn't have done it without this guide. It is full of great places to stay, visit and eat. It also contains backround information to help you get a good feel for the country. The photographs within the guide really capture El Salvador. Even after a year I still find myself going back to the book and reliving my trip.

Gives full flavor of the country, with fascinating sidebars.

El Salvador has never been high on my list of "countries I really would like to visit," but this book has at least put it ON that list. The writing is clear and cogent, the historical background sections offer an intelligent, sympathetic, yet objective understanding of the beleagured little country. In a minority among travel guides, the book presents clear and complete maps whof sites that would seem to be most useful. A must for every Central American visitor. And finally, one of the authors is my son
