Back to Backpacking in Nicaragua
With beautiful beaches, jungles and volcanoes, Nicaragua *might* just be my favourite country in Central America – here’s what backpacking in Nicaragua is really like.

There’s no doubt about it, Nicaragua is one of the most popular countries in Central America and it’s a firm favourite on the backpacker trail. When it’s got more volcanoes than seems natural, simply stunning scenery wherever you go and old colonial towns that feel like you’re stepping back in time, it’s no surprise really.
When I was in Nicaragua I really enjoyed the lovely little town of Leon, but one of my highlights from travelling there was hiking to an active volcano with QuetzalTrekkers. To me, it really felt like I got back to backpacking in Nicaragua, and my episode Travel in Nicaragua is one of my favs too!
Finding Volcanoes in Nicaragua
With beautiful views of volcanoes and truly magical sunsets all around the island, Ometepe is well worth seeing while in Nicaragua.
Hiking with Quetzaltrekkers; Part Two
Day two of hiking with Queztaltrekkers saw us hiking to the top of Volcan El Hoyo before swimming in the crater lake of Laguna Asososca. Another unreal day.
Hiking with Quetzaltrekkers; Part One
Day one of hiking with Quetzaltrekkers saw us volcano boarding down Cerro Negro in Nicaragua hitting speeds of nearly 100kph. Just pure adrenaline.
