We did the 6km walk from the entrance to the top, the walk is hard work and very steep. Took us 3 hours with breaks on the way but we saw some nice wildlife, howler and spider monkeys in the trees along the way. We did the 1.5km crater trail walk which was nice, but not alot of wildlife around to see which was disappointing. The walk back down is hard on your knees due to the steepness, we were lucky to get offered a lift half way down which was much appreciated.
Get ready to get your shoes dirty. Contemplate beautiful viewpoints and trek all around the crater of the volcano. A really good place to connect with nature.
The larger trails present some difficulty. Legwork and cardio minimums are required. Outstanding views and totally worth tours nonetheless! !
We hired a guide (Tigre) from the park who led us to the top of Mombacho volcano. My family didn't have any problems on the path but I was nervous and not very confident. Tigre made sure I was safe the entire way up and then back down. It was an amazing day and quite an adventure!
We didn’t see all the volcano because it was cloudy (which is apparently frequent), although our guide was really nice and well informed about the park biological characteristics and it was pretty!
