Volcan Telica Nicaragua & Volcano Boarding on Cerro Negro

nicaragua

The active Volcan Telica in Nicaragua looks absolutely perfect when you approach it from a hike starting in Leon city. I have spent a night there to look down into the crater and see the red lava, followed up by a fun day nearby doing Volcano Boarding on Cerro Negro. Hopefully you like this snapshot from my weekly travel show! 😀

Meeting the Stone Man Alberto Gutierrez in Nicaragua

stone man

The 15th of January of 2015 has been a very special day for me. I met 75 year old Alberto Gutierrez, also known as the Stone Man, in his beautiful home deep in the Tisey Estanzuela Natural Reserve. He has been carving stones there for almost half of his life and will proudly present his work, should you make the effort of paying him a visit.

Live #45, Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua

#65_nicaragua_ometepe03/04/2015 I’m back from Antarctica and it has been a truly breathtaking experience! Can’t wait to write about it once I managed to sort out all the pictures and videos. Right now I am in a hotel in Ushuaia, trying to find a Couchsurfing place for tonight. A good opportunity to provide you my last live update from Nicaragua: Isla de Ometepe.

Live #44, Granada, Nicaragua

#64_nicaragua_granada17/03/2015 Good news! Thanks to Couchsurfing, I will have a new camera similar to my old one just before I depart to Antarctica. The weather here in Patagonia is not the best right now anyway, so I have time for some Bouldering in the area and to plan the rest of my South America trip. As the Internet is still very bad, I can just provide small updates and it takes me nearly a full day to upload those pictures from Granada in Nicaragua.

Live #43, Laguna de Apoyo, Nicaragua

#63_nicaragua_apoyo14/03/2015 I had a great day hiking to Laguna Torres yesterday and then up one of the higher mountains in the area today after sleeping at the camp ground. The wind nearly blew me off my feet this time and it was a shame I could only take pictures with my phone and GoPro fake, the views were just amazing even though I could not see Cerro Torre. The internet here is very bad, so I’m keeping the update very small as well. But at least I can get an update out 🙂

Live #41, León & Volcan Telica, Nicaragua

#61_nicaragua_telica01/03/2015 I’m about to start a five day trek through the jungle to the Lost City in Colombia and thanks to my tour operator Turcol, I can give you a quick update with their Wifi before I head off into no-wifi-land once more. León in Nicaragua is a beautiful city, but after having seen so many beautiful cities, I could not wait to get out again and hike Volcan Telica, which eventually became one of my personal highlights in Nicaragua! Check out this post to see why.

Live #40, Estelí, Nicaragua

#48_nicaragua_esteli_albert_stone_man1

24/02/2015 Getting to Santa Marta here in Colombia took a bit longer than expected, including getting thrown out of the car in the middle of the highway in Barranquilla. Luckily another car actually came to pick us up again for the rest of the journey, without charging us twice 🙂 This live update is about 75 year old Alberto Gutierrez, who I have met in the Tisey Estanzuela Natural Reserve back in January. His stone carvings up in the hills are nothing short of amazing.
