Santa Rosa de Lima is near the Panamerican Highway--a very safe highway to use.

Santa Rosa de Lima is well known for having many stores, but be warned the stores are not like a store you would find in a developed country but more like home-stores. Home-store are peoples homes turned into a store this happened after the opening of borders with Honduras which led to many Hondurans entering the country to buy Salvadorean products which led to many families opening stores all over the place.

Clothing

In the city you will notice that they sell many familiar clothing you would find in the USA but for more lower prices. Example: A Lacoste shirt will usually cost 40 to 50 dollars, there you will find the same shirt for 5 dollars. If you are going to purchase clothing take cash with you not a credit or debit card since those types of cards are not used muched since there arent any Card machines.

Technology
