Volcano Boarding Adventure – Ride Down an Active Volcano in Nicaragua

Get ready for an experience you’ll never forget. Bigfoot Hostel in León is where volcano boarding began, welcoming over 30,000 adventurers since 2004. The team takes you to Cerro Negro, a young and active volcano with dramatic black slopes made for speed.

You’ll hike to the top, gear up, and ride your board down at speeds of up to 100 km/h. At the bottom, unwind with a local-style dinner, toast marshmallows by the bonfire, and sip a cold drink. For adults, the adventure ends with music and laughter on the party bus ride back to León.

As a Mastercard cardholder, your day includes a few special touches: a complimentary morning city tour of León and a free Bigfoot bandana to remember your adventure.
