El Salvador is found in Central America and is surrounded by the countries of Honduras and Guatemala, as well as the Pacific Ocean. A vast majority of El Salvador is volcanic uplands, along which two nearly parallel rows of volcanoes are located. The city today is a combination of colonial architecture and modern structures, and it offers expansive plazas, shopping centers, amusement parks, monuments, and natural wonders to its guests. One-thing visitors will want to keep in mind when traveling to El Salvador is that the country's infrastructure was gravely disturbed by the earthquake that occurred in January 2001. It may be wise for travelers to check with Government travel warnings for current information regarding particular conditions in the regions of El Salvador.
