volcano boarding at cerro negro
Cerro Negro is a young, active volcano outside of the colonial city of León. The volcano only reaches 500 meters in height, so it’s climbable for any level of hiker. The slopes of Cerro Negro lack vegetation and are covered in volcanic ash. After an hour of somewhat strenuous hiking, guests are rewarded with an otherworldly view. For the daring, once at the top, you can “volcano board” down the steep slopes of Cerro Negro.
Hike volcano Conseguina
Conseguina towers over the surrounding landscape and is one of the most picturesque volcanos in Central America. The now dormant volcano was once the site of Nicaragua’s most violent volcanic eruption. When the volcano blew its top in 1850, it created the large crater lake and islands in the neighboring Bay of Fonesca. From the top of Conseguina, hikers can spot three different countries. Two hikes are available, one that is relatively easy (half day), and one that is more strenuous (full day).

Flor de Caña is an internationally recognized rum that has won numerous awards for its signature flavor. This guided tour walks guests through the process of making rum with six interactive stations. Learn from rum experts that will teach you to use all of your senses while tasting Flor de Caña and see what differentiates Flor de Caña from other rums. The tour lasts about one and a half hours, and by the end, you will feel the “spirits” of Nicaragua within you.

turtle Sanctuary
Our community in Northern Nicaragua is rallying to save the critically endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle. We try to support locals in their conservation efforts whenever possible. There’s nothing like releasing baby turtles from their nest at sunset and watching them waddle into the sea. The hatching season is from November to April.
boat tour
One of our favorite activities to do with guests is to explore the mangrove estuary that neighbors the town.
