After your overview of downtown, head up 5,905 feet (1,800 m) to El
Boquerón, the mouth of the volcano that is an icon of the city. Take
about an hour to view the massive crater — it’s 3.1 miles (5 km) in
diameter and 1,831 feet (558 m) deep — and a stroll on the pine tree–flanked trails.
Decide when and where to stop for a snack or lunch (own expense); in addition to all the choices in town, there are options at the volcano.
At the end of your private tour, you’re dropped off back at the airport with ample time to catch your connecting flight.
