Some travelers like it hot, volcano hot.
If you’re intrigued by volcanoes, Gap Adventures is offering upcoming volcano adventures in Nicaragua, Uganda and Costa Rica. Trip highlights will range from volcano boarding, trekking through lava caves to experiencing the company of mountain gorillas.
One of the world’s largest, independently-owned adventure tour operators, Gap Adventures offers 1,000+ small group experiences, safaris and expeditions on all seven continents to more than 100,000 travelers a year. The company’s adventures focus on wildlife encounters, active travel and cultural interaction.
Here are Gap Adventures’ volcano adventures:
Nicaragua – Volcanoes and Islands. “Make your way to Nicaragua, where one of the most accessible (and menacing) volcanoes in Central America lies 20 km south of the country’s capital, Managua. Don a gas mask and check out the impressive crater, which continues to emit smoke and sulphur gases. Once there, double-check that life-insurance policy, before trying one of the newest crazes out there and ‘volcano board’ back down.”
Uganda Gorilla and Volcano Trek. “Volcanoes and Gorillas: to hardened travelers and nature lovers alike these two words are music to the ears. Uganda offers visitors the unique opportunity to encounter both an intimate primate experience, with days of trekking to and around extinct volcanoes.”
Costa Rica Volcano and Surf . “Take an unforgettable hike around the base of La Fortuna volcano; if you are lucky you may see the top glowing an eerie red, set to a soundtrack of monkeys and the rumblings of the volcano in the distance. Visitors can hike the area’s nature trails, take a bracing dip under La Fortuna waterfall or try canyoning down rivers and waterfalls.”
