Hiking on Maderas Volcano

With a height of 1,394 meters (4,573 ft), Maderas is the smallest of the two volcanoes that make up the island of Ometepe.

The slopes of Maderas are one of the few places on the Pacific side of Nicaragua where cloud forests grow. The hike to the top of the crater can be challenging, with steep inclines that become muddy during the rainy season.

Raincoats, sweaters, and hiking boots are highly recommended if you plan to take on this hike and experience the trails this volcano offers to those who dare to challenge it.

Along the way, you can spot various species of fauna, enjoy breathtaking landscapes, and reach the beautiful lagoon at the summit.
