  Parque Nacional El Boqueron

  The main attraction of the park is a volcanic crater 1.5 kilometers in diameter and 558 meters deep, "El Boquerón". It is estimated that it was created after a strong eruption in 1917, which destroyed part of some municipalities, such as San Salvador, Nejapa or Quezaltepeque. In Playón, on the outskirts of San Salvador, you can see remains of the lava that it expelled. Inside the crater there is another smaller one, "Boqueroncito". El Boquerón has a cool temperate climate throughout the year. The park is home to many plant species identified as ornamental plants, such as "cartridges", hydrangeas, wild sultanas and begonias, among others. The most numerous species of animals are armadillos, raccoons, deer, foxes, among others.
