Hi! I am Alexis from El Salvador the most small country in Central America, normally this confused with Salvador de Bahia in Brazil, but my country have a lot of people with a big heard, a lot a delicious food the most famous are Pupusas which consists of a corn dough stuffed with cheese with a local herb the Loroco that gives it a different flavor, but today there are many options, beans with cheese, pork rinds with cheese, cheese with carrots, cheese with spinach, etc. The most advantage of my country is all is near and you can visit different place in one day the beach are 45 minutes of the San Salvador, the beach are especially for surfers, we have a beautiful lake, the most big are Coatepeque Lake, we have a lot of mountain and many please can you visit.
What is the most interesting thing you’ve done as a Local Guide?
I think the most important thing I have done is to support the small business trade of people who start and need guidance, also to help people find wonderful places that only local people can get to know, but above all I consider that the most important thing is to give to know my country and erase the bad image that the media infuse, there are very good things that we have and we have the power as a Local Guide to do it so that people really trust us as local guides and do not get carried away by Bad and fear.
What does the Local Guides program mean to you?
I have learned to empathize with people and be able to guide them with their questions, give people options to get to know places, take alternate routes and, above all, I have learned that we can influence others to see different realities in the places we visit, that as a local guide it is important to be honest and sincere so that the program is the most reliable for all users.
If you have any questions regarding my country, do not hesitate to contact me.
Happy day!
