Exploration in the Heights: El Boquerón National Park

Our journey begins by ascending to the summit of the imposing Volcano of San Salvador.

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.
