Cerro negro


Leon is a quiet town with not much to do, but go a bit outside and there`s lots, pipeline waves on the coast and volcanos inland. The Bigfoot hostel are the experts in an unusual trip.

Active Volcano Boarding.

After an hour and half walking we got to the top of Volcan Cerro Negro, there`s was a smell of sulphur and it was hot. Digging about 4-6 inches into the ground the ground was too hot to touch. 2 minutes of instruction and protective gear on we were ready for action. Tricky to handle and fast. Sensory overload as you got a mouth full of volcanic ash and ash everywhere. This is by far one of the strangest activities I`ve taken part in.

Wow Si, I have heard of skiing down snow capped mountains and even down sand duens but never volcano ash! How amazing!

So you have lost weight? Lisa looks like she has too. I laughed out loud when I read that you went to Pizza Hut for its salad bar!!! I can definitely understand it though. Are you still planning to getto Chile for mid Novemeber? Looking forwardto seeing you both then!
