I'm thinking of visiting El Salvador with my husband, but I've heard that there are dangerous gangs. How serious of a problem is it? Is it safe for site-seeing, shopping, or using public transportation? Are there specific areas that are particularly dangerous? Thank you for your replies.

Hello there SenorPescador,

Please note that this is an old thread from 2014. I recommend you participate on more recent threads on the Salvador forum so that members may benefit from your feedback.
