TELICA VOLCANO

One of Nicaragua’s most active volcanoes, located in the Leon department, Telica has erupted frequently, and ash from those frequent eruptions keeps the slopes of its cone bare of vegetation.

Unique features of Telica:

  • Telica became active in August 1999. An eruption produced ash-fall, and on 18 August a lava lake was observed in the summit crater. The ash eruptions continued until February 2000 and declined afterwards.

  • The top of the volcano has wonderful panoramic views of the “Cordillera de Los Maribios”.

Activities:

  • Hiking: Ascend via a narrow and stony hiking trail. The fantastic panorama over the Cordillera de Los Maribos, the volcanic chain of the Maribios compensates for the efforts.

  • Camping: Camp is set up after hiking up the volcano where you will have outstanding views of the Maribios Volcanic Chain and a close up of the crater opening. Here you will enjoy a rustic dinner at the campfire, while taking in views of the sunset and the incandescence of the lava at night.
