El Salvador is the smallest Central American country in land area but, it is the
most densely populated nation in the Americas. It is a beautiful tropical land
of rugged mountains, coned-shaped volcanoes, green valleys and scenic lakes.
This tiny Latin American nation suffered greatly due to thirteen years of brutal
civil war in the 1980's and 1990's. Its devastating impact on the people and
economy are still present today. 
Most Salvadorians live in Central El Salvador, the agricultural and industrial heartland. San Salvador, the capitol and largest city, lies in this region. More than half of the people are farmers.
