From Honduras, we took a 12 hour bus to Leon, Nicaragua. We stayed here off and on as we went out for a couple multi-day hikes with Quetzaltrekkers, a volunteer base guided tours company. All the profits QT makes goes toward kids programs in Leon. The pictures above are of our first trek through the Northern Highlands of Nicaragua just outside Matagalpa. We hiked to the top of a mountain to watch the sunset the first day. The next day we trekked to a waterfall, where we set up camp in the caves beside the noisy waterfall. It was difficult to sleep, but well worth the amazing location, swimming, and memories.
We came across a 6-ft dead snake on this hike. We were quite excited to see such a large snake, and even more excited that it was not alive.
Our second trek with QT was up a volcano. We hiked to the top of Telica where we watched lava bubble in the crater at night. Unbelievable! Once we made it to the top, we could see a string of volcanoes. It was a sight like no other. Definitely something that will be stuck in my mind forever.
