it's a place of remarkable warmth and intelligence, made all the more appealing for being so unexpected. Travellers tend to skip El Salvador, wooed by marquee destinations such as <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=358403">Guatemala</a> and <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=358221">Costa Rica</a>, and unnerved by stories of civil war and gang violence. But the war ended almost 20 years ago, and crime, while serious, is almost exclusively played out between rival gangs; tourists are virtually never involved. And though El Salvador has fewer protected areas than its neighbors, you get them practically to yourself – including pristine forests, <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/el-salvador/western-el-salvador/parque-nacional-los-volcanes">active volcanoes</a> and <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/el-salvador/western-el-salvador/lago-de-coatepeque">sparkling lakes</a>. The only place you might find a crowd is on Punta Roca, El Salvador’s most famous surfing spot – it happens to be one of the best right point breaks in the world, yet is a ghost town compared to lesser swells in <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=358221">Costa Rica</a> and elsewhere.<br /> And when it comes to cities, none in <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=358197">Central America</a> is smarter or cooler than <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=358389">San Salvador</a>, with first-rate universities, <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/el-salvador/san-salvador/sights/431748">museums</a> and <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/el-salvador/san-salvador/sights/431752">galleries</a>, a vibrant bar and <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/el-salvador/san-salvador/entertainment-nightlife/431698">live-music</a> scene, and an array of progressive NGOs, both local and international.<a class="pin toggleMap closed" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/el-salvador#" id="pinToggleMap" style="display: block;"><span class="showMapText">Show in Lonely Planet</span></a><br /><div class="mpuWrapper " id="mpuInContent"><div class="mpuInner"><div class="adContainer" id="adContainer_mpuInContent"></div></div></div><div class="relatedLinks clearfix"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
