Volcano Boarding Leon, Nicaragua : We have climbed quite a few volcanoes before but this experience was different. Outside of Leon, Nicaragua we climbed Volcano Cerro Negro and road an over sized skateboard down the black volcanic gravel. Volcano Boarding is an adrenaline rush but wiping out on rocks does hurt.

El Hoyo Trek : We signed up with Quetzal Trekkers out of Leon, Nicaragua for a 2-day challenging hike. Our backpacks were weighed down with 9 liters of water each, a meal for 5 and camping gear. We initially began our trek up the desolate black Cerro Negro volcano and then hiked to El Hoyo volcano to camp. The next morning we were motivated with the idea of swimming and relaxing in a crystal clear crater lake.

San Juan del Sur : San Juan del Sur is a coastal town on the Pacific Ocean, in south-west Nicaragua. It's popular among surfers and is a vacation spot for many Nicaraguan families and foreign tourists, who consider it an unspoiled alternative to Costa Rica. We took surfing lessons at Playa Madera with Casa Oro's surf instructor, Fredo. Unfortunately, we don't have pictures of us surfing because we were told it was best to not bring valuables to the beach. Although we felt extremely safe during our visit in both San Juan del Sur and Madera Beach. For more information watch our video of San Juan del Sur.

Leon : León is a department (state) in northwestern Nicaragua. It is also the second largest city in Nicaragua, after Managua. It was founded by the Spaniards as Santiago de los Caballeros de León and rivals Granada, Nicaragua, in the number of historic Spanish colonial homes and churches. León is located along the Río Chiquito (Chiquito River), some 90 km northwest of Managua, and some 18 km east of the Pacific Ocean coast. Although less populous than Managua, León has long been the intellectual center of the nation, with its university founded in 1813. León is also an important industrial, agricultural (sugar cane, cattle, peanut, plantain, sorghum) and commercial center for Nicaragua. - Wikipedia
