The itinerary
We pick you up at your hotel and take you in a 4×4 to the “Las Pilas-El Hoyo” Nature Reserve for a unique experience on Cerro Negro volcano, part of the volcanic chain Los Maribios, where seven volcanoes line up like skittles.
This active volcano—the youngest in Central America—has black walls covered in pulverized lava and is completely devoid of vegetation since the last strong eruption in 1999.
After an easy hour-long walk to the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the green plains and surrounding volcanoes.
Then, the excitement begins. We’ll don appropriate suits and slide back down to the valley on surf-type boards, a simple and fun activity!
We’ll return to León in our vehicle.
