For our visit, our vehicle will lead the way to the foot of the mountain where we will get in touch with the park keepers. The park keeper will give instructions to everyone so we can enjoy our visit. Then we will switch vehicles and start our way up to the top on a four wheel drive. The adventure begins on a paved road and right from the start you will be surprised by the biodiversity of this natural reserve, surrounded by exuberant vegetation and enjoying breathtaking views. When we reach the summit, you will understand why this ecosystem is called a cloud forest. We will then take the trails of the volcano to learn a lot about the flora, the fauna, the ancient people who lived there and the volcanology of the area. If the day is clear enough, we will visit an impressive viewpoint to observe the Pacific plain region of Nicaragua, the neighboring city of Granada, and the great lake of Nicaragua and its islands. When we return from our walk, we will visit the biological station where you can enjoy a cup of coffee, right after we will begin the Canopy Tour adventure trip! Qualified staff will assist us to put on all the necessary equipment. After we gear up, we will be driven to the starting point where instructions and safety measures will be provided in detail by the staff members. We will then be ready to take one of the most exciting excursions in Nicaragua, the canopy tour. Canopy is an English word that refers to the top of the tree which is where the adventure actually takes place. You slide on cables that connect platforms located at the very top of enormous trees. We will be assisted the whole trip so we can enjoy this experience in comfort and safety. As we slide from platform to platform, we can admire the wonderful sights of the surrounding exuberant nature. Our guide will let us know when it is time to board the vehicle that will transport us back to the foot of the mountain.
Considered a moderate hike and for the zip line you only need the spirit of adventure.
