description El Salvador Overview
El Salvador, with a tropical climate and a Pacific coastline, is the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America; it is the only one without a Caribbean coast. Its capital is San Salvador, and its landscape is defined by volcanoes, including Santa Ana and the historically active Izalco. Joya de Cerén, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves a Maya farming village buried by volcanic ash around 600 CE. The country endured a civil war from 1980 to 1992 and adopted the US dollar as official currency in 2001.
