Ascent of Volcán Maderas in 2007-02| Date: | February, 2007 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Volcán Maderas | | Location: | Nicaragua | | Elevation: | 4573 ft / 1393 m |
Ascent Trip ReportOne of two volcanic peaks on the island of Ometepe. The other, Concepion, is higher. Maderas is in a cloud forest, so even in the dry season, the trail is extremely muddy. Most of the hike is thru dense forest so views are limited. There is a lagoon at the top but visibility was poor on our visit due to fog. You may see monkeys on the trail. The muddiest hike I have ever done. |
