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!

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!

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!
Kickass tour - well worth it!

The hike up was worth it by itself - seeing both cauldron formations and the hot ground up on top of the cone was crazy cool! Topography and views were incredible - so worth dealing with the 70mph sustained winds, yes, nearly knocked us off our feet several times. Outstanding. And the ride down? No go standing for the first 50 ft due to lack of slope, but after that was able to stand the rest of the way. Quite a rush for a skier who doesn't snowboard. Recommend this enthusiastically! And Carlos was an excellent guide. THANK YOU!!!
