    Parque Nacional El Boqueron

    Exploration in the Heights: El Boquerón National Park Our journey begins by ascending to the summit of the imposing Volcano of San Salvador. As we climb, the weather transforms and the fresh mountain air welcomes us to the foothills of El Boquerón National Park. We will hike along trails surrounded by vegetation typical of the area until we reach the edge of the main crater. The highlight is access to the exclusive Mirador de Cristal, a platform designed to enjoy an unparalleled panoramic view that combines the depth of the "Boqueroncito" with the expanse of the valley and the city at your feet.
