El Boqueron National Park, National park at San Salvador volcano, El Salvador
The park features a massive crater measuring 1.5 kilometers in diameter with a smaller crater formation called Boqueroncito at its center point.
Following the last volcanic eruption in 1917, the freshwater lake inside the crater disappeared, transforming the geographical structure of the area.
The park serves as an educational center where visitors learn about El Salvador's geological formations and natural ecosystems through guided experiences.
Located 20 kilometers from San Salvador, the park maintains daily operating hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with entrance fees of $1 for nationals and $2 for foreigners.
The park's elevation of 1,839 meters creates a microclimate with temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius, contrasting with El Salvador's typical warm weather.
