ERP Center of Excellence is based in the small town of Berlin, El Salvador, in the department of Usulutan.

 

Berlin is a 2.5 hour drive from San Salvador International Airport, and a 3 hour drive from San Salvador or beaches in La Libertad.  The elevation in Berlin is 1,100 meters, so the weather is typically comfortable and breezy.

 

El Salvador is a beautiful country, with stunning volcanoes, black sand beaches, friendly residents, and the best pupusas in the world.

 

It is the smallest country in Latin America, but is home to over 6 million people.

 

El Salvador has one of the highest English proficiency levels in Latin America, and is ranked #50 in the world, per the EF English Proficiency Index survey.  

 

El Salvador's time zone is UTC-6, and does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so it is on US Central time from November to March, and US Mountain Time from March to November.  This makes El Salvador a popular location for near-shore service providers for the United States.

 

The national currencies of El Salvador are the US Dollar and Bitcoin.  Bitcoin was adopted as a national currency in September 2021, making El Salvador the first country in the world to adopt the digital currency as legal tender.

 

As of 2024, El Salvador is the safest country in the Western Hemisphere.
