Surfing a volcano
Day 1 - Around Town
Left Managua pretty early to make sure I had some time in Leon. Taxi driver was kind enough to drop me off at the minibus station rather than the chicken bus staion and even though I had an extra 30min wait due to one of the minibuses being broken down, Im sure the ride was faster and definately more comfortable then the …
Who needs snow when you can slide down a Volcano
We are finally in Nicaragua after travelling the 12 hours from San Pedro Sula in Honduras (also the world's sketchiest town) to Leon. We are staying at a hostel called 'Bigfoot’ which is also the people that organize…wait for it….VOLCANO BOARDING!
We spent most of our time in Honduras in a town called Copan. It is right …
Volcano sufring Cerro Negro in Leon and Leon Viejo
We decided after six days in Granada to go check out Leon, further up north. We travelled there with Steve from Liverpool and hung out for a few days.
Leon is like a larger Granada, less pretty but similiar atmosphere. The reason we wanted to go though, is so that we could try volcano surfing down Cerro Negro!
So on the Saturday …
Borders, Boys, Banter and Bohemian Rhapsody
So I had to get up at 4am except I managed to turn my snooze up and got woken up by the owner at 4:28 and I had to leave in the taxi at 4:30. This was pretty ironic as about 3 hours before I'd said I wouldn't need waking up as I rarely turn my snooze of when I'm half asleep and end up getting up too late... So after rushing about like a mad woman I …
My unproductive, productive day
Unfortunately the fans in my dorm do not reach me, so despite the fact I went to bed late I had to get up as it was so hot where I was I was literally sweating lying down, mmm so sexy. So at 9am, I got up, bloody heat. Although I suppose 9am is actually a lie in for me. All of the boys went off volcano boarding, which is effectively sledging down a …

“Best hostel in Leon!”
Reviewed Mar 10, 2013
This hostel is huge, super clean, amazing people, and great adventures and tours! We did the boarding from here and received a Tona beer, a volcano cookie for the transport back. And then a mojito and beer for a couple games of "flip cup". A great place to stay and I highly recommend it to everyone going to Leon.

“Cool Backpackers hostel”
Reviewed May 15, 2012
Bigfoot is a super fun place to stay! Lively bar, fun travelers, great tours, great cafe attached, helpful staff! We'd stay again for sure. We got REALLY hot during the evenings though! The fan doesn't keep you cool during the night when it's hot, but it wasn't a big deal. We were amazed at how CLEAN it was, the staff was constantly cleaning the floors so the common areas were always immaculate. It was a great place to stay and for a good price (privates for $15, and dorms for like $6 i think) so I recommend it, ESPECIALLY if you do the volcano boarding. Great crowd of people to do it with.

“Ok hostel for the money but can find better”
Reviewed May 6, 2011
I got a bit of an aloof vibe from the staff at Bigfoot. The Hostel itself is ok but dorms are HOT and with just one pedestal fan per room for 10 beds is unacceptable, I left after one night.
