El boquerón
Description
Take a deep breath and feel the fresh breeze of El Boquerón!
Just minutes from San Salvador, El Boquerón is more than a dormant volcano—it’s an immediate escape into cool mountain tranquility. As you drive up the road to El Boquerón National Park, the air gets lighter and the noise of the city fades behind you. When you arrive, you’re greeted by a stunning sight: a crater over 1.5 kilometers wide, with a smaller crater inside known as “El Boqueroncito.”
Hiking the park’s trails reveals hidden corners filled with wildflowers, natural lookout points, and the constant presence of a refreshing mountain breeze. The park is made for taking your time, soaking in the contrast between the dense forest and the vast open crater.
After your walk, stop at one of the small local restaurants. From their open-air terraces, enjoy traditional dishes while gazing over the endless green landscape surrounding you.
Book your visit with Avitours and spend the day among clouds, views, and local flavors. The most famous crater in the country is waiting for you!
