El Salvador

I participated in this study abroad a year ago, but I still remember this great country we visited. We stayed at an amazing all-inclusive beach resort that had the ocean right at our fingertips! We also traveled up into the magnificent mountains and enjoyed the breath taking views from atop! The weather was perfect and the air was so clean. It really allowed you to take in the beauty of this country. We visited many cultural sites like the coffee plantations and the Mayan sites, and best of all we got to go zip-lining down the mountains which offer you the greatest view! The people were so very helpful. If anyone was afraid to zip line then they would ride down with you. It was a great experience and that stood out the most out of all of my memories. We also visited different manufacturers and distributors like Hanes and Coca Cola, and got to visit the university. The professor and students that were with us from El Salvador were also helpful especially if you couldn't speak Spanish, and became really good friends to all of us on the trip. They made us feel very well at home. Language barriers were the only issue I encountered, but it was not a big deal. The whole experience in El Salvador was amazing and the memories will stay with me for a lifetime. The beauty of this country can not be put into words as well as just witnessing it, so chose El Salvador and see all that it has to offer!
