Volcano boarding

It's THE thing to do in León (and, according to the guides, only here): walking up the active volcano Cerro Negro and coming down in boards that remind of bobs. Even though the main focus today was the boarding, hiking up was actually much harder than yesterday, as it was steeper and all of the rocks and the sand were loose. In addition, this time we also had to carry up the board. In combination with the almost 40°C and the sharp wind which sometimes almost blew us from the edge, everyone was happy to reach the summit.
Once there, we put on the (really warm) overalls and got ready. The part where we slid down was actually pretty steep, so with breaking much or few you could more or less control your speed - some people didn't seem to at all.Leggi altro
