The 5 Most Amazing Peaks in Nicaragua

ou can to do the trek easily by yourself. The way is easy to find, And you did it to Kommoot ;-) Take a bus to Malpaisillo leaving at León bus station. It takes approx. 30 minutes, 15 C$. The way back to León is also easy. I took a bus at 3.30 pm. I guess the have later ones. Just ask in the village at starting point. After the trek you can enjoy a beer in the village. Just ask around for the bar if you are interested. Your early breakfast and your lately lunch you can join at León bus station. For guided tour It seems there are no many treks due most visit Cerro Negro. A tour would approx. $50 per pax for at least 2. For just me the offered $90. I do not check other just go.

A great one day hike up volcan Telica. An eight hour round trip day using Quetzal trekkers. An impressive active volcano.

Mogotón is a mountain in the Reserva Nacional Cordillera Dipilto y Jalapa on the border of Nicaragua and Honduras. It rises 6,841 feet (2,085 m) above sea level and is the highest point in Nicaragua. It is a UN Country High Point. Trip Notes Early 4am get up. Met Roberto at 5am. Drive 2hrs to Los Brisas, 4wheel drive road towards Honduras border. Start at 7am, road for 20 mins then turn off right up a ghyll scramble up a river bed with slippery rocks, downed trees, very wet, drizzle and damp. Nice temperature but got filthy. After 2hrs turned off right again and steep uphill for another 2hrs. Steep, slippery, under branches, hacking away at the path, undefined underfoot at times, heavily vegetated to the summit. Path marked with several border plinths & summit marked with a trig point. On the way up one mine marking tape bordering the path. The summit is surrounded by mines & a mine clearing area is evident. After a feast on the summit with Roberto, 3 hr walk down. Easier & different path on the way down, more of a jungle walk instead of an Indiana jones hacking job. Lots of mine markers, stakes with mine tapes, military campsites, trenches. Apparently 2 fatalities in the last 13 years, soldier & a tourist. Weather very nice on the way down & after the last hour on the road it was back to where we started. GUIDE: Roberto Carlos Castellanos, cell 89167443, 001 50527320317.

Telica: Active volcano. Sometimes you can even dive lava. Special recommendation: tour in the evening.

The 1610m second highest stratovolcano in Nicaragua is located on the Isla de Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua (Lago Cocibolca). Already when boarding the ferry on the mainland in Rivas, he stands, dominant and beautiful to look evenly, there and accompanied during the entire, good one-hour crossing to the Isla de Ometepe constantly. Not surprising that many, especially young people extra drive to Ometepe to climb this volcano. The problem is not the altitude, but the extreme temperatures almost constantly over 30 ° Celsius and the humidity and the heat on sunny days. Cheaper is the ascent with clouds, then at least the heat is not so great, but it also brings to the phenomenal view from above. Helping do good footwear and sufficient fluid when climbing. The recommendation of about 3.5 liters for ascent and descent is not accidental and is, if you go with guides, also controlled by them. A guide is recommended anyway, because especially in the upper rise you can easily "pass" and then gets into rough terrain, which makes the steep climb - up almost 45 ° and in the summit area in some cases to 53 ° - even more difficult. Reward for depending on the condition 8-12-hour ascent and descent is a beautiful path through several climatic zones and the magnificent view. We needed with our group (7 people around the 30 and me as oldie with 74) 10.5 hours, sufficient drinking breaks and rest course included. As a guided hike with several guides (we had two and three man "auxiliary staff") you have to expect per person (including pick up at the hotel, food package and "home delivery service") with about 45-50 dollars per person.
