About El Salvador

El Salvador, located in Central America, is the smallest and most densely populated country in the region. Situated between Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east, it also has a coastline along the Pacific Ocean to the south. Covering an area of approximately 21,041 square kilometers (8,124 square miles), El Salvador is roughly the size of the state of Massachusetts in the United States.
The geography of El Salvador is characterized by a varied terrain, including rugged mountains, volcanic peaks, fertile valleys, and coastal plains. The country is part of the Ring of Fire, a region known for its seismic and volcanic activity. Notably, there are over 20 volcanoes in El Salvador, with some of the most prominent ones being the Santa Ana, Izalco, and San Miguel volcanoes.
The central region of El Salvador consists of a series of volcanic mountain ranges running parallel to the Pacific coast, with peaks reaching heights of over 2,000 meters (6,500 feet) above sea level. These volcanic formations contribute to the country's fertile soil, supporting agriculture as a key sector of the economy.
