Jardin Botanico La Laguna

Reviewed By Firsdown - West Sussex, United Kingdom

A wonderful oasis of calm in a hot, busy car filled city. Well maintained particularly considering that it is in a developing country. Plenty of facilities and interesting wildlife such as large iguanas, terrapins and plenty of birds. Small but perfectly formed!

Parque Nacional El Boqueron

Reviewed By mikebrownnz - Cardiff, United Kingdom

El Boqueron is a relatively short drive from San Salvador and you can be taken to within a relatively short distance of the summit. It takes a normal person about ten minutes to walk the track to the top. There is a track that once used to lead a long way around the rim and down to the bottom of the crater but this is no longer maintained and specifically advised against using. Once at the summit, there are four viewing points along about a fifty metre section of the rim. There is also a small information centre next to the car park and a wonderful view back across San Salvador and Lake Ilopango to the volcano of San Vicente. Slightly further down the hillside there are a couple of restaurants which have even clearer views than from the top.

Volcan San Salvador

Reviewed By SteveRainville99 - Orlando, United States

This was such a treat to be able to hike a top the volcano, to then stare down its center. The views from my plane were also breathtaking! An amazing place in a heart of this beautiful city!

Cuscatlan Park

Reviewed By Eldereaglewatcher - Chippewa Falls, United States

I have been to Parque Cuscutlan many times, mainly to take new visitors to see the Wall of Truth and Memory honoring those killed and disappeared in the Civil War between 1980-1992. It is fashioned after the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC, and definitely worth the trip to the park. However, in the past year or two, the park has been closed for renovations, and it is beautiful. There are more attractions, places to sit, art work, a splash fountain, snack bar and walking paths in addition to the free art exhibit and the Wall. It feels very safe and is a great place to spend some time relaxing.
