If you are going make sure you go early in the morning or buy tickets ahead of time. We went a little late and ended up behind a school group and there is no way to get up to the top without the trucks from the park. It is worth going and the half way stop at the coffee farm... More

I took this tour from a tour operator located on Calle Calzado. The tour company handled eveything well and even though I was the only one going, they did not cancel. They arranged a taxi to take me and the guide to the volcano. At the base, we waited for a few minutes until other tours arrived, and the truck... More

If you are intent on learning something. Get a guide. If you've been on walks in rainforests before... skip it. They have good signage and lots of stops. We just did the easy short walk because we had other stuff to do. The ride up the mountain is almost worth the trip. More

I can recommend an overnight stay on the volcano. The accommodation is rustic in the research station but the food is good and the chance of seeing the salamanders that are endemic only to mombacho makes the stay more than worthwhile. More

We did a day trip to Mombacho as a group (mix of adults and kids). We started out at the coffee plantation, where you can read about coffee bean processing, sample the goods, and buy coffee of course. There is a little store where you can buy snacks, drinks, etc. We then did the zip lining tour, which was incredible.... More
