I had a great time during a night tour of this volcano. Definitely the best tour I had! I was able to get close to the magma, and took a tour through bat caves. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous

You have to do this if spending any time in Granada. It was lashing rain when we went up but still gorgeous. The guide was very helpful and friendly and talked to us the entire time. Bumpy ride up and down but a fascinating insight into the lives of the people along the way. Good fun!

This definitely has one of the best views around. Can see the historic, colonial town of Granada and the isletas down below. It's cool to walk around the top in a tropical cloud forest but make sure the volcano's top is clear in the afternoon or it is very wet.

If staying in Granada, volcano Mombacho may be a nice trip to cool down - the temperatures are little cooler there than in the city. We went by a tour operator there, from the parking place at the entrance to the volcano, you may "climb" the volcano by a track (cca 10 USD) or climb by walking. At the mid... More

The Mombacho Volcano is such an amazing feat of nature with it's missing top and views of Granada and the isletas below. We walked the trail around the crators and saw many beautiful plants, amazing bugs and animals - including a sloth and great views of Granda below. Leo Tours provided our guide Victor and he was fantastic!

I liked the short hike to Mombacho with Tierra Tours. The tour was very informative and it was great to try the coffee on the way up. You can also buy the coffee and it is very good. We saw a sloth and some wild flowers, but no other wildlife. I would suggest going later in the day for a... More

The views are fine, the drive up doesn't take long. We hiked the long Puma trail with the guide, who was very entertaining. Our guide Geovanny came too, so it was luxury, two English speaking guides and the three of us. The trail is a challenge, lots of climbing, but it was lovely up there and we saw a sloth!

We booked our Mombacho Volcano hike and tour with Ramon of "No Rush Tours". He is a wonderful guide and I recommend using him. We stopped on the way up the volcano at Cafe Las Flores for a cup of coffee and a look around part of the plantation. They also offer zip lining, but we did not do that.... More

we went there to hike the puma trail, they ask you to get a guide. We paid 20$ in toal for an english speaking guide (in spanish 15$). The track leads through nice cloud forest and offers a few nice views, well, if its not cloudy or hazy. The whole track is along steps so I don't know why you... More
