FULL DESCRIPTION
If one day of adventure is not enough, this is the perfect tour for you. First, we meet at the tour company’s office in the morning at 10:00 a.m. Once at the office you will choose your t-shirt, pack your camping equipment, meet the tour guides and get the general information and safety recommendations of the tour. We will then go via private transportation during 45 minutes to the vicinity of Telica Volcano, where we will start our trek.
At around 12:30 a.m. we begin our 3-hour trek alternately through shaded forests and open fields, before beginning a 45 minutes challenging uphill climb that offers us sights at the surrounding farmland and extraordinary landscapes of the Maribios volcanic range. We then will set up our camp just below the crater, we have a bit of time to rest before heading up to the peak just before sunset
Once on the edge of the Telica’s crater we take some pictures and have a fascinating view down into the crater while there is still day light. As the sun begins to set, we head around the side of the crater to have an earth-shattering sunset. After one of the best sunsets in the world, we make our way back to Telica Volcano’s 120m deep smoking crater and see and hear the erupting lava at night (hoping the crater is not full of smoke). Then we enjoy a warm dinner and marshmallows by the campfire 200 meters away from the crater, with awesome views of the erupting volcano.
The next morning, we rise early for a short climb up a ridge offering beautiful sunrise vista and the red of the volcano being brought out. We return to camp and eat breakfast, before we begin our descent down the steep southern slope of the volcano. We walk towards the main road (where we were drop off) to take the private transportation to León. We return to the office around 10:00 a.m. with the satisfaction of knowing that we just live a spectacular and unique experience like nowhere else in the world. Once back in León you will enjoy a well-deserved cold beer or soft drink.
