A diamond in the rough, Nicaragua has long remained a hidden gem with big rewards for those who take the time to fully explore it. Best known for a distinctive landscape dotted with lakes and volcanoes, those who venture to this beautiful corner of Central America will also find unspoiled cloud forests, serene Pacific beaches, coffee plantations, charming colonial cities and tranquil islands as well!

Beginning in the cool mountainous highlands of Matagalpa, we will visit the lush, green cloud forests of the coffee-growing region from a stunning private farm. Next, a short stay in the cultural capital of the country, the renowned colonial city of Granada, where we will tackle Mombacho - our first volcano ascent and explore the trails on its forest-cloaked slopes. Then, we’ll head to the mystical volcanic island of Isla de Ometepe for the main event - a hike to the summit of Concepcion, a spectacular (and very active) volcano that dominates the surrounding landscape. Well-earned recovery will take place amongst the swaying palms and hammocks at our lakefront retreat.

And of course, no trip to Nica would be complete without a visit to the Pacific coast: we’ll cap off the adventure with a treetop resort, a few final miles and a sunset catamaran cruise that you’ll never forget.

About
About The Host

Each person on our small, multinational team brings a unique set of running abilities, travel experience, and guiding expertise to the table, but something that we all have in common is an addiction to exploration, a borderline obsession with running, and a love of helping others experience the world in this very unique way. Our guides are certified Wilderness First Responders, practice Leave No Trace principles, and have guided well over 200 running trips combined. When you join a trip you’ll be traveling, running, and exploring with at least one (if not 2 or 3) of us.
