Discover and swim in the beautiful Laguna Asososca  Close to Momotombo
and similarly undiscovered by the vast majority of travellers, and indeed
locals, the hidden Laguna Asososca is a marvel to all. Perched at the
bottom of the volcano which shares the same name Laguna Asososca, it contradicts
the hot and dry surroundings with marvellously cool and refreshing waters.
On the walk to the laguna, we get spectacular views of Momotombo,
Lago de Managua and of course the Laguna itself before making
our way down to swim in the pure volcanic waters.
This hike also includes a visit to the ruins of León Viejo, the first capital of Nicaragua which was abandoned in 1610 due to frequent seismic activity and eruptions of Momotombo.
Start at 7 am in Quetzaltrekkers office
Back the same day at 5 pm in Quetzaltrekkers office.
Minimum Donation: 25 US$
