I only once before stared down inside a volcano, which was on Easter Island. The hike up to the top is roughly 5 to 10 minutes, and gets steep in some spots. Once up there, there are multiple spots where you can marvel the views of inside the crater. This is a sweet spot to spend a few hours!…

We visited this place as part of a guided tour. Nice to hide in the shadows of the park trees on a hot sunny day :) I recommend this attraction!

Visited El Boqueron early this month while vacationing in El Salvador with my family. This is a low-key high impact hike and perfect for amateurs. A great place to go to when you want to get out of the city and experience a quick change of air.

El Boqueron is a relatively short drive from San Salvador and you can be taken to within a relatively short distance of the summit. It takes a normal person about ten minutes to walk the track to the top. There is a track that once used to lead a long way around the rim and down to the bottom of the crater but this is no longer maintained and specifically advised against using. Once at the summit, there are four viewing points along about a fifty metre section of the rim. There is also a small information centre next to the car park and a wonderful view back across San Salvador and Lake Ilopango to the volcano of San Vicente. Slightly further down the hillside there are a couple of restaurants which have even clearer views than from the top.…
