WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States gave El Salvador a safer travel rating on Tuesday that groups it with the least dangerous countries for Americans to visit, citing reduced gang activity and violent crime.
The U.S. State Department moved the Central American country from level two, which advises travelers to exercise increased caution, to level one, its safest rating, which encourages visitors take normal precautions.
