VOLCANO BOARDING
Leon, Nicaragua
This extremely thrilling volcano boarding activity was invented on the volcano Cerra Negro.
The BigFoot Hostel in Leon, Nicaragua offers a cool day that you won't ever forget. We all pile into the back of a large truck for the ride to the volcano. Once there we climb the back side of the volcano with our boards. The hike took about 45 minutes and it was a bit windy but well worth the effort. The view from the top is stunning. After everyone is back down the hostel gives you a congratulations beer and cookie for the ride back.
