About this activity
Get ready for a spectacular mix of sightseeing! Visit the imposing San Salvador volcano, home of the crater known as Boqueron (approx 25 km from San Salvador), with a height of 1893 meters above sea level. This provides a unique high-altitude tropical climate and impressive panoramic views. The crater measures 1.5 km. in diameter and it has 560 meters in depth. Enjoy a refreshing eco-walk through the nature trails of this national park. Later, admire the Black Sea (approx. 35 km), which is a field covered by lava, now volcanic rock, driven by the Boqueron Volcano. Then, move to the “Pompeii of America”, the archeological site Joya de Ceren, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. Joya de Ceren was covered by the Loma Caldera volcano explosion. This explosion preserved the remains of pre-Hispanic civilization for hundreds of years, which makes this destination an amazing story of history. What are you waiting for? Come and discover one of the most interesting civilizations in human history.
