Cerro Negro, Nicaragua


As part of a package tour in Leon, we hopped in a pickup and headed to Cerro Negro.  Within an hour we arrived on what could only be described as another planet.





Then the fun began. We climbed up the side of the black mountain.  As we approached the top, the wind picked up, blasting us with mist from one side and sulfur fumes from the other.  After a little bit of time to take it all in, we put on our protective gear, sat on our boards, and flew down the mountain.


















At the bottom, there was a lot of cleaning volcanic sand out of hair, eyes, mouths, etc.  It was totally worth it.
