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.
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.
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!
Thank you! It's a pleasure for us!
Carlos was fantastic and provided a great tour. We had so much fun. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Nicaragua!
Excellent experience one of a kind !!!! For thrill seeker lovers plus our tour vamos travel nic was an excellent choice to have one of the best experiences i had in my experience in traveling thru out the world i would say surfing cerro negro is a top 5 for me out of all the place i have visit thru out
We had a great experience in el cerro negro. Our tour guide was Carlos and he was great, he was helpful, informative and patient . He was friendly and knew so much about the volcano and about the surrounding culture. Would definitely do again and ask for Carlitos again!
Extraordinary experience, spectacular landscapes, and incredible sensations. Super friendly guides and knowledgeable about the routes and history.
Carlos was a great tour guide! On the way to the volcano, he talked about different things that we were seeing, peanut fields, farms, etc. The hike up Cerro Negro was medium-difficulty. It was a bit hot, so, definitely bring water. The ground was made up of black sand and lava rocks - slippery at times, so, having a good grip shoes is a must. The views during the hike up were breathtaking. We saw 4 craters, sulphur smoke, and felt the ground be very very hot. Slide down the side of the volcano was amazing! At first a bit scary to start, but once we felt the speed, it was a lot of fun, and we swooshed down in no time. A great and unique experience for everyone to try!
Grest guys! It was a pleasure fo us!
A really memorable experience. Even the drive out to the site feels something like a safari tour which is a cool experience. The volcano itself and surrounding scenery are awesome, so we really enjoyed the hike up. It does get quite windy up there so don’t be ashamed to hand over your board to a porter if you don’t want to battle the wind. And the ride down was great fun. Easy to control your speed so it’s all up to you how hard you go. Our guide was great, super friendly and knowledgeable and more than willing to help make it enjoyable.
Thanks a Lot! Was awesome share the tour with you!
