Dare to visit one of San Salvador's active volcanoes with this excursion to El Boquerón National Park, one of the most important natural reserves in the Central American country!

Tour Details

Depending on where you leave from, we'll pick you up at your hotel at the indicated time. We'll board a comfortable bus that will take us northwest to El Boquerón National Park, a protected area of more than 54 hectares of extension.

On the way to the volcanic area, we'll stop at the Reconciliation Monument. A sculpture with great significance that we'll discover along the way. We'll continue the excursion to "The Little Prince" Theme Park, in Santa Tecla. There, we'll learn about Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's relationship with El Salvador.

We'll then arrive at the protected area located more than 4,265 ft (1,300m) above sea level, right at the top of the San Salvador volcano. Upon arrival, we'll visit the Interpretation Center of the History of Eruptions, an important place for the Central American country as it has several volcanoes that are considered active.

Following the Interpretation Center, we'll ascend about 1,476 ft (450m) to reach the top of the volcano, from where you can see the crater of the San Salvador volcano. You'll learn the details of the last major eruption that took place about 100 years ago. We'll then head back down through the trails of El Boquerón National Park and admire the diversity of fauna and flora that inhabit the area.

Next, we'll get back on the vehicle to head to an area where we'll see the solidified lava from the last eruption – a real natural spectacle!

And, finally, we'll return to your hotels in San Salvador or El Tunco, after around 3 and a half hours.

Hotel Pickup

When making your booking, you'll be able to choose between getting picked up from your hotel in San Salvador at 9 am or El Tunco at 8:20 am.
