Parque Nacional El Boquerón, located atop the San Salvador volcano, offers stunning views into its massive crater and across the capital city. The park is generally accessible via vehicle or public transport from nearby Santa Tecla, with paved pathways to main viewpoints, though some steeper sections and stairs might limit full accessibility for all. Visitors can easily explore independently along well-marked trails, with guides available for those seeking deeper local insights. While open year-round, the dry season (November-April) typically offers clearer visibility compared to the rainy season (May-October) which can bring fog. An approximate entrance fee for foreigners is usually around $3-5 USD, and a typical visit duration ranges from 1 to 3 hours to fully appreciate the views and short walks. It is advisable to bring a light jacket due to cooler temperatures at the summit, and small vendors offer refreshments and souvenirs.
