About the map

El Salvador World Map
El Salvador on a World Map

El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America. Unlike any other Central American country, it does not have a Caribbean coastline. Instead, it has roughly 300 kilometers (186 mi) of coastline along the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Fonseca. Otherwise, it borders Guatemala to the northwest and Honduras to the northeast.

El Salvador is densely populated with nearly 7 million people. San Salvador is the capital and largest city of San Salvador. The country is nicknamed the “land of volcanoes” because every major city has one next to it. Almost every volcano has the same name as the city that it’s closest to.
