Peaceful place high above San Salvador. Road gets very busy at weekends so good driving skills are essential. Can go up by local bus but doesn't go all the way to the top so it's about a mile walk to the national park. great views into the crate and over the city. locals charge $2 to park at side of road.

It takes about a 10 minute hike up a hill to the first viewing sight to see the crater. You then return on a different path with a few more viewing spots. The views are good and the park is well maintained. There is also a viewing spot at the bottom of the park where you can see San Salvador. I was a little disappointed in this spot as several trees blocked parts of the view. The drive to get to the park might be better than the park itself. The last mile or so is very tight with lots of restaurants and businesses on a very narrow road. There are several spots with great views on the road. It takes some effort to get there but is worthwhile if you have access to a car.

Visited El Salvador for the first time in 20 years, it was fun to go back here. Park is much improved with better signs and paths leading up to the crater. Beautiful and quiet and clean. Now there are vendors along the rim which sell souvenirs and food, personally don’t think they are needed since there is also those stalls at the bottom and it’s literally like a 5-7 minute walk up to the rim. Other than that, a great oasis close to the capital.

Beautiful green space and a magnificent volcano and crater with good restaurants. The Boquerón Slide is very manually operated and only less than 15 inner tubes used at a time and if the wait line is long, one could get stuck there for hours on end. As the people go down in their inner tubes, then about 15-20 minutes to haul the inner tubes back to the top of the slide and only 15 people go down and the the process starts again of hauling. Not a good process. And it takes the fun out of it
