León - San Cristóbal Volcano - Hike

Description

San Cristóbal, the highest (and also one of the most active) volcano in Nicaragua, stands symmetrically proudly at 1,745 meters (5725 ft) above sea level. The youngest volcano in San Cristóbal complex, San Cristóbal Volcano (capped by a massive 500 x 600m wide crater, 1640 x 1968 ft) is accompanied by adjacent less-active volcanoes in the range, namely La Casita, El Choncho, Moyotepe and La Pelona. These other volcanoes make the view unbelievably beautiful once you reach the peak of San Cristóbal. Not only will you see these gargantuan summits, you will also see the beauty of the breathtaking scenery displaying the Gulf of Fonseca, Honduras and El Savador.

The passage to the top is not considered easy. It is actually the most challenging volcano in Nicaragua to climb. It will take you one whole day to do the ascending and descending trip. The volcano's steep slopes are one of the reasons why climbing San Cristóbal is rather challenging. In fact, if you do not have a fit, healthy body, it is not recommended for you to hike San Cristóbal.
