Tips

The 1610m second highest stratovolcano in Nicaragua is located on the Isla de Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua (Lago Cocibolca).
Already when boarding the ferry on the mainland in Rivas, he stands, dominant and beautiful to look evenly, there and accompanied during the entire, good one-hour crossing to the Isla de Ometepe constantly.
Not surprising that many, especially young people extra drive to Ometepe to climb this volcano.
The problem is not the altitude, but the extreme temperatures almost constantly over 30 ° Celsius and the humidity and the heat on sunny days. Cheaper is the ascent with clouds, then at least the heat is not so great, but it also brings to the phenomenal view from above.
Helping do good footwear and sufficient fluid when climbing. The recommendation of about 3.5 liters for ascent and descent is not accidental and is, if you go with guides, also controlled by them.
A guide is recommended anyway, because especially in the upper rise you can easily "pass" and then gets into rough terrain, which makes the steep climb - up almost 45 ° and in the summit area in some cases to 53 ° - even more difficult.
Reward for depending on the condition 8-12-hour ascent and descent is a beautiful path through several climatic zones and the magnificent view.
We needed with our group (7 people around the 30 and me as oldie with 74) 10.5 hours, sufficient drinking breaks and rest course included.
As a guided hike with several guides (we had two and three man "auxiliary staff") you have to expect per person (including pick up at the hotel, food package and "home delivery service") with about 45-50 dollars per person.
