Nayib Bukele is doing an excellent job, el salvador is starting to be the safest country in latin america probably in the whole americas soon!
Can't wait to buy a house there.

Don't recommend going to this country unless you have family there and can speak Spanish. Point is with family is that they know the good and bad parts of El Salvador, something a website can't tell you. From personal experience, the main cities are pretty bad like San Salvador.
