Its stretched slopes are mostly covered with trees and run down almost to the Gulf of Fonseca. The volcano consequently does not appear to be a volcano, judging by its shape. It merely seems to be a long-stretched hill. The crater is not easily visible from down below.<\/p>\n<p>Hiking to the crater, however, is not very hard.

The Cosig\u00fcina Volcano erupted and part of its crater was blown into sea. A group of small, rocky islands, measuring maybe a couple hundred meters in length, are a trace of this explosion.<\/p>\n<p>These so-called Islotes de Cosig\u00fcina are located not far away from the main land in the Gulf of Fonseca, a bay bordering Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. The islands lie on Nicaraguan territory and nowadays provide shelter to hundreds if not thousands of birds. The birds most obviously present are pelicans and frigatebirds. Other birds residing on the islands include cormorants, seagulls, and darters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ITINERARY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>08:30 \u2013 09:00 am \u2013 transfer from Potosi to el Rosario community<br \/>09:15 \u2013 12:30 am \u2013 boat ride tour to the Islotes de Cosig\u00fcina<br \/>01:00 pm \u2013 lunch time<br \/>02:30 \u2013 06:00 pm \u2013 transfer back to Chinandega city<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Overnight Hotel Los Volcanes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funnsuntravels.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/images\/placeholder.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Day 3<br \/> Climbing San Cristobal Volcano<\/h2>\n<p>San Crist\u00f3bal volcano is the highest active volcano in Nicaragua at 1,745 msnm (5,725 feet). Located near to the northwest corner of the country. It has been throwing ash and sand for years making this region one of the most important agriculture area in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n<p>San Crist\u00f3bal is a nearly symmetrical stratovolcano, rising in a distinctive cone shape. The South West slope is the longest, and the crater rim on that side rises 140 meters.<\/p>\n<p>The crater is 500 x 600 meters in size. While the volcano was at one point covered in tropical forests, the large quantities of gas and smoke that it emits constantly have killed off much of the vegetation.<\/p>\n<p>Ascending the San Crist\u00f3bal is one of the most difficult climbs in Nicaragua. The steep slopes make it hard to reach the huge crater. It takes a whole day to ascend and descend the volcano, and you should be in very good condition It will anyway get hot once the sun is fully shining.<\/p>\n<p>This climb is certainly a challenge, but the views of the area and the experience of reaching the crater are surely rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>Join us to enjoy one of the most attractive landscapes in Nicaragua<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Itinerary<\/h4>\n<p>05:30 Am transfer from the hotel to the san cristobal farm<br \/>06:45 Am we start climbing up<br \/>11:00 Am tour around the main crater<br \/>12:00 Am lunch time<br \/>01:30 Pm start climbing down<br \/>04:30 Pm back at the farm<br \/>06:30 Pm back in Leon City<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funnsuntravels.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/images\/placeholder.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-weight: bolder; line-height: 1.2; color: #0a4d0a; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 1.38462em; text-transform: none; word-spacing: 0px; text-align: left;\">THIS PRICE INCLUDES<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; Transport with a\/c and driver<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Lodging (1 night at hostal brisas del mar and 1 night at hotel los volcanes)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Servicios de trip leader biling\u00fce y 2 gu\u00edas locales auxiliares para el volc\u00e1n Cosig\u00fcina y volc\u00e1n San Crist\u00f3bal para grupos mayores de 4 personas<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Entradas al volc\u00e1n San Crist\u00f3bal<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Lancha de motor<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 2 desayunos, 2 Box lunch, 1 almuerzo y 2 cenas<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.funnsuntravels.com\/en\/treks\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBack<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exploring cosiguina volcano Comienza esta aventura escalando al coloso volc\u00e1n San Crist\u00f3bal\u00a0 el m\u00e1s alto de Nicaragua ubicado en el departamento de Chinandega con una altura de 1,745 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
