Tigo, Claro and Movistar dominate the Salvadoran market with 4G+ across San Salvador, Santa Ana, San Miguel and Costa del Sol. Tigo has the biggest market share and usually best urban coverage; Claro has strong rural penetration. 5G is in urban trials but not widespread. Good coverage on the Ruta de las Flores (Juayúa, Apaneca, Ataco), volcanoes (Santa Ana, Izalco), and Pacific beaches (El Tunco, El Zonte/Bitcoin Beach, Las Flores). El Imposible cloud forest and remote Morazán can have weaker signal. Type A/B US plugs, 115V/60Hz.
Fly into San Salvador-MSLP (SAL); shuttle to center ~25 USD, taxi ~30-40 USD. Currency US dollar (USD official since 2001) and bitcoin (legal tender since 2021). El Salvador is very affordable in Central America: dinner 5-12 USD, hostel 15-30 USD. El Tunco and El Zonte (Bitcoin Beach) are surfing meccas. The Ruta de las Flores with its coffee towns is perfect for a weekend. Santa Ana and Izalco volcanoes offer top hiking. Crime has dropped dramatically 2022-2025 but it's still wise to use Uber/InDriver at night.
