5Use Vamos Travel NIC!!!
Franklin is an excellent guide, he provides in depth information, gave us a Salsa Lesson at the top of the Volcano, and creates you an edited HD video for your social media of your hike and Volcano Boarding. 10/10 would go again!!

My friend and I had a great time! Our guide took his time with us and was very patient. We took as many breaks we can. Such a great experience
5Once in a lifetime
Amazing value for money, we were driven right to the base of the volcano and Franklin guided us up to the top making it easier for an inexperienced hiker like myself to take part. He had great energy and motivated me to keep going when hiking up. Once at the top we were able to take some amazing photos before the best part, sliding down! The boards were brought up by the Vamos team which I was very grateful for. Franklin also took videos of each of us which he provided immediately after. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!
5Volcano boarding with Franklin
Huge recommendation. Franklin was a champ in keeping the mood up, providing us input on the volcanoes and their history, and taking banger photos and videos and generally on ensuring a fun and (not to forget) safe experience - even including music and a short salsa lesson on top of the summit. A memorable and fun day to say the least. 🤠
5Highly recommend this once in a life time experience with this company
It was honestly a great experience. Walking up wasn’t as challenging as I thought it would be. Not having to carry up the board made it so easy. All we had to carry was the gear that was light weight. I also loved that helmets were provided as other groups up there didn’t have any. Made me feel like my safety was a priority to the company. My belongs were secure in the vehicle and I loved that they took videos and photos through out so I could enjoy the experience as well I took my own phone and water up and they had a porter bring it all back down. They are very detailed go through how to take the board down the volcano safely and also make sure we go one at a time as to continue being safe. It was great experience!
5Top experience
An amazing, must do experience if you are in Lèon. Actually worth a visit to Lèon only for this experience. The guide Franklin was amazing, bringing music and making it all fun. The hike was beautiful by itself, only lasted 45 minutes. We started off as the first group, and wasn’t bothered by bigger groups going after us. The sandboarding was so much fun and would do it again and again. Private vehicle with aircon was also a plus. Top experience, highly recommended going with Franklin who also shared great pictures and videos after!

About León
León is a colonial university city in north-west Nicaragua, with a vast whitewashed cathedral, rooftop views and a ring of volcanoes.
León lies in the Pacific lowlands of Nicaragua, about ninety kilometres north-west of Managua, with a chain of volcanoes on its horizon. The cathedral, one of the largest in Central America, is a World Heritage site; its white roof can be climbed for views, and the poet Rubén Darío, Nicaragua's great literary figure, is buried inside, guarded by a stone lion. Colonial streets of low, colourful houses, with courtyards and churches, spread around the plaza.
