El Salvador: Natural Landscape
Nestled in northern Central America, El Salvador is strategically positioned, sharing borders with Honduras to the northeast and Guatemala to the northwest. Its geographic location grants it access to the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Fonseca. This unique positioning makes El Salvador the only country in Central America without a shoreline on the Caribbean Sea. El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America. Its compact size belies its remarkable diversity, with landscapes ranging from lush rainforests to towering volcanoes. It is also Central America's most densely populated country.
