Volcán de Boquerón | Into the Dragon's Mouth

🌋 Beyond the Tourist Viewpoint While most visitors snap photos from the rim, we descended into the 200m-deep crater - here's what guidebooks won't tell you: 🥾 The Forbidden Trail Discovery: Found after scouting ALL downhill paths (took 4 hours) Reality Check: ✔️ 60° loose volcanic scree slopes ✔️ Last section requires rope-assisted climb ✔️ Rain turns ash into cement-like sludge 📸 Crater Secrets 1️⃣ Alien Garden: Neon-green sulfur deposits 2️⃣ Steam Vents: Hissing fumaroles at 89°C 3️⃣ Bird Graveyard: Parrot skeletons in the acid mist ⚠️ Death Wish? Think Again Rescue Stats: 3 tourists airlifted this year Local Rule: Rangers will fine you Q500 if caught attempting 💡 Safer Alternative: Book the lava tube tour at nearby Santa Ana Volcano #VolcanoDarkTourism #DontTry
