Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

An amazing experience.
I got lucky and b/c it was low season and a weekday I got my own guide for the Puma trail. First things first - when you hear you are driven up in a truck to get to the start of the hike you might be inclined to push back and say you want to start your hike from the entrance of the park. Don't do this on your first time unless you plan to do the easier or mid range trail.
The Puma trail is AMAZING. Sadly it was cloudy so I didn't get killer views (often it was just white) but the first half is through the gorgeous green, rain forest area and I was really entranced by the dead forest and thought it was so unique.
I'm in good shape, hike regularly and the steepness of the trail was tiring and strenuous but not impossible. Took about 2.5 hours but it will take longer if you're with a group.
Luis was my certified guide and he was wonderful. So knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and the ecosystem and passionate about conservation.
Really enjoyed my time here and the staff and locals are friendly

Our tour began with a car ride up the volcano during which our tour guide Harold "El Tigre" (bilingual tour guide) told us tales of the volcano's local community that kept us intrigued (and laughing!) throughout the entire ride. We parked and took a hike through the woods during which Harold told us all about the volcano's natural ecosystems and took some very cool photos for us. The air was so fresh and energizing and the views were absolutely beautiful. Harold knew just about everything about the place -- you can tell he really loves and values his work. We saw all kinds of plants and animals, a full view of Lake Nicaragua and got to see some of the volcano's steam vents. Harold was attentive to our needs and cared about our safety. He also shared some delicious fruit with us! I tried raw cacao for the first time while Harold taught us how to make our own chocolate out of it and came back home with my own cacao plant. Highly recommend seeing this gem of Nicaragua and joining Harold "El Tigre" for one of his personalized tours.

We were in the clouds so no view. The Puma trail took us 1hr30 (not 4 hrs), I am 57 and not particularly fit but we decided to get our weekly exercise so we walked relatively fast I guess (and no pauses for the non-existent views); most foreigners do it in 2 hours according to our guide. The forest was beautiful even in the mist. Lots of steps, can be slippery.
I knocked two stars off the experience because these guys have a monopoly and there was not even coffee available at the top (but coke was available). This is a pity because one can wait a while for the truck to go back down. Had an altercation with the grumpy manager who refused to stick to the schedule of the return truck saying that he decides when the truck leaves. He was also not going to let us drive up in our manual Land Rover 4WD - evidently a Toyota fan! Said it would not make it…
Perhaps a bit overrated and a hassle to get there and back (even if you have a 4WD!), we may have been influenced by the weather. Guide said that in March one has a better chance of clear skies. On the afternoon it was clear… but as others have pointed out, in the afternoon maybe there are no guides available…

The 1345m Mombacho volcano dominates the Granada skyline. Responsible for the creation of the Islets of Granada after a massive explosion some 20000 years ago, it still steams and smokes although thankfully hasn’t erupted for many decades.
A popular day tour from Granada you can visit the Caldera of this volcano, its cloud forest, take in the surrounding views of granada and undertake one of its three hiking trails.
Logistically you have a couple of options here.
* Most hostels offer an all inclusive tour for 33USD. This includes transport to and from the hostel, the truck up the hill (See later) and a guided tour of the crater.
* You can travel here yourself. We did this. You walk to the ‘Nueva terminal de buses a Rivas’ in granada (look this up in google maps) and get one of the buses going to ‘Nandaime’ (this will be written on the front of the bus). Ask to be dropped of at ‘La Entrada de Mombacho’. It takes about half an hour to get here and it costs 10 cordoba (although we were charged 10, 12 and 13 respectively so they may make up the price a bit). This will drop you off adjacent to the round about where the entry comes off. You can monitor yourself on google maps as the bus drives. From here you can walk the relatively flat 2km or so to the entrance to Reserva Natura Volcan Mombacho or get one of the numerous tuk tuks there. We walked. Once you get to the entrance of the Mombacho volcano you’ve once again got a couple of choices. You can pay the entry fee of 5USD and walk up to the caldera (where the hiking trails start) yourself. This is a truly terrible idea. The walk has virtually no views and has inclinations of up to 45 degrees at a time. It’s truly exhausting and takes a couple of hours. Your second choice would be to pay 22USD and get the truck return. The truck leaves when it gets a certain number of people (7) or otherwise at set times (1030am was quoted). There is also a couple of private tour companies that will take you up for 22USD in their 4WD’s and give you a guide. It is worth noting that the 22USD includes the 5USD entry fee so its only 17USD.
Once at the Caldera you can chose between 3 different hiking trails.
(1) Mombacho crater trail - this 1.9km (88m elevation) trail is free and does a loop of the caldera. You are afforded some lovely views of Granada and the Islets of granada from some set miradors. You don’t need a guide for this.
(2) El Tirgillo Trail - Must be done with a guide at a cost of 17USD. It comes off the Mombacho crater trail and takes you to two additional viewpoints. It takes 2.5 hours to compete.
(3) El Puma Trail - Must be done with a guide at a cost of 17USD. This trail is 4km long and takes four hours to complete. It is the most difficult of the hikes.
The day we visited the weather wasn’t the best and this is often the case at the top of Mombacho which seems to have its own microclimate within the volcano caldera. Unfortunately we did not encounter any sloths or notable wildlife and our views were impacted by cloud. We did the crater trail. The road leading to the top had been damaged by hurricane Julia but they were in the process of repairing it.
I think on a better day the experience could’ve been better.
Overall I thought it was fairly overpriced particularly compared to other attractions in Nicuragua.
I think it’s probably worth doing but pick a day of better weather.

Excelente experiência em caminhar nas trilhas de um vulcão inativo. Ao chegar lá em cima temos uma vista maravilhosa: vemos o lago cocibolca e as ilhotas da cidade de Granada, inclusive essas ilhotas foram resultado de uma erupção da cratera 4 do vulcão Mombacho.

Wir sind angekommen und hatten die Option eine Straße hoch zu laufen oder einen Shuttle zu nehmen. Da wir oben noch viel wandern wollten haben wir uns für den Shuttle entschieden. Nachdem wir 30 min im Shuttle gewartet haben fuhren wir los. Allerdings nicht bis nach oben sondern nur zur Mitte. Dort gab es weder den versprochenen Ausblickspunkt noch einen spannenden Suvenierladen. Endlich kam das nächste Shuttle und wir waren oben. Weil wir den Tigrillo Trail gehen wollten mussten wir uns einen Guide besorgen. Sie wsr sehr süß und hat uns mit guter Laune durch den Trail geführt. Allerdings haben wir statt den geplanten 2,5h nur 1h gebracht. Warum wir einen Guide brauchten war uns auch unklar. Der Trail ist wunderbar ausgeschildert und besteht größtenteils aus Baumstamm-Treppenstufen. Plus Punkt: wir hatten einige wirklich wunderschöne Ausblicke.
Auf dem Rückweg wurden wir in dem Cafè auf der Hälfte rausgeschmissen. Dort saßen wir dann 1,5h fest. Auf Nachfragen, wann der nächste Shuttle kommen würde gab es immer die Antwort „15 min“.
Das alles wäre für mich kein Problem gewesen, wäre es nicht so unglaublich teuer gewesen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt absolut nicht!

We really enjoyed walking around this dormant volcano. The views of the valley below are just astonishing! The weather is much cooler up there, and we even saw some spider monkeys!

Can this be a self guided hike or are we required to go as part of a tour? We are a family of three with a 7 year old child and prefer to go at our own pace.
Skrevet 28. februar 2017
You can definitely do it on your own! a tour guide is only required for the 2 longer hikes. You can do the basic 1-2 hour loop on your own.

En partant de Granada, y a t'il des autobus qui peuvent nous amener au parc du volcan Massaya?
Skrevet 7. februar 2017
Any bus from Granada to Managua should be able to drop you at the entrance of the park. The main problem is going to be the walk from the entrance to the top of the crater. It is especially a challenge if you want to see the lava in the night since it can be pitch dark, and cars go on the same road.
As a reference I paid $35 for a taxi to go the Masaya volcano, wait there for us to see the lava and bring us back.
Have a good trip.

Hi there! Who did you book the zip-line tour with? We're looking into options, but getting a bit of an internet run-around. Thanks!
Skrevet 5. februar 2017
You can contact Cafe Las Flores directly to reserve the zip line tour. It is fabulous. We have visited several times and they are very profesional and safety minded. Highly recommended.
Skrevet 19. februar 2017
I'd like to get to the 1345m summit ie the highest one, farthest East, farthest from the access road. Is this possible?
Thanks
Skrevet 7. januar 2017
Hi,
There is only one crater you can do on your own. The other 2 offered by the park which you must do with a guide are El Tigrillo & Puma. We did EL Tigrillo. The lady we stayed with told us that the Puma one didn't go to the highest point. We stayed with Cynthia in Mombacho Lodge so you could try emailing her or Cafe des Flores or the park to get an answer incase you can hire a private guide to do it, good luck. I admire your stamina and fitness!!!

We want to hike to the 1344m summit. Which trail is that? Do we have to have a guide? Any info appreciated Thanks
Skrevet 6. januar 2017
Just saw this! Honestly I dot know what trail that would be, however I do know you will need a guide. They are sticklers for having guides on that mountain. Happy trails!

Is this open on Christmas eve or Christmas day?
Skrevet 24. desember 2016
Hi could you let me know how fit you have to be to a trek aroun Mombacho as one of our group is not very fit, they are okay to walk on the flat but not very good if steep or hilly. Thanks
