What to do in Nicaragua? 15 Best Things to See in 2025
"I found this extraordinary island on Lago de Nicaragua, formed by the joined volcanoes Concepción and Maderas, to be a hub for hiking, kayaking, cycling, and healthy food; hiking the volcanoes is as hard as it appears (8–10 hour hikes, guides are mandatory, group hikes cost around $25–40 USD), Concepción is a baking hot, 1,600‑meter ascent while Maderas is easier but muddy with a lake at the summit, and you’ll need solid footwear, a hat, water, and sunscreen." - Matthew Kepnes
