Thank you for putting El Salvador on this list. My parents were born in El Salvador, so I will always support it with my heart and soul. My grandfather was a war veteran and was buried in that country.

Costa Rica Costa Rica, officially the Republic of Costa Rica, is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Ecuador to the south of Cocos Island.

Beautiful beaches and rainforests.

Honduras Honduras is a country in Central America that became an independent nation on September 15, 1821. Unfortunately, this country has been plagued with extreme poverty and violence. These conditions have forced its citizens to flee, making it unwelcoming and disliked by many.

It's a great vacation spot if you avoid San Pedro Sula and the capital.

Nicaragua Nicaragua, officially the Republic of Nicaragua, is the largest country in the Central American isthmus.

Nicaragua is the best. It has nice forests, beautiful beaches, and friendly people. The country has a low crime rate, and Managua still preserves its colonial roots. The best thing about Nicaragua is its large capacity for investment compared to other countries like Honduras and El Salvador (both struggling due to internal conflicts). Costa Rica, often called Costa Pobre by some, is economically challenged due to its immense debt with the IMF.

Nicaragua has friendly people and is extremely cheap. You can make a lot of money if you have a secondary education or speak English.
