I like to wander in country roads but in El Salvador that can bring one into contact with dogs on the street, guarding their street, house.

My attitude with the fiercer dogs is to let them approach from my back so they can get a good smell before I look at them. Seems counterintuitive to turn a back to the dog, and maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Ignore the dog until they smell my back is the best option? Turn around?

I d never turn my back to a foreign fierce dog. Be vigilant, stay calm, no hectic movement, dont run away. Try not to enter their territory, dont touch them! Arm yourself with a stick and stones to throw, or better get a gun.

In Central America there are many wild street dogs who have infections e.g. rabies.

My recomendation is to stay away unless you are a veterinarian.
