5Worth every penny!
We had a such a great time. Carlos and Maria were extremely knowledgeable, not just about the volcanoes, but Leon in general. They made sure we were safe at all times and gave us great recommendations that made the rest of our trip even better.
5Great guides and experience!
This was amazing! It was just the two of us and two guides, who were so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel safe even though it was a crazy experience. I went very slowly and my husband went way faster, and we both had a whale of a time and thankfully avoided any injuries doing this extreme sport.
5A must-do if you're in León!
Luis is an outstanding guide—passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. From start to finish, he ensures everyone feels comfortable and safe while sharing fascinating insights about Nicaragua’s volcanoes and natural wonders. The journey to the top offers breathtaking views, and the descent is an exhilarating, adrenaline-filled adventure! Luis and their colleague go the extra mile to capture the best photos for you, making the experience even more memorable. To top it off, refreshing fruit and a drink are provided at the end, which is a perfect way to recharge after the effort. Highly recommended!
