In El Salvador, you need a valid international driver's license to drive legally. Get informed about the road conditions, especially for off-road travel, and pay attention to traffic rules.

SIM cards can easily be purchased at mobile phone stores, supermarkets, or at the airport. Providers like Tigo or Claro are common and offer good network coverage.
