CLIMBING VOLCANOES / MOUNTAINS

Crossing Back Over the Divide – Volcán Baru

After finally stamping out of Costa Rica for the third time it was time to cross back over the Divide. A back route alternative was hard to find. I was told of a hiking route but no biking route; that’s not to say there isn’t one. Huge areas of wilderness in Panama seem to be…

Ruta de los Conquistadores – Volcán Irazú and Turrialba

Volcano Telica

This was an exellent hike which I did with some friends I met in Leon, Nicaragua (this written in Costa Rica).  We did it without a guide and requires some navigation but you can find the GPX here.  There are some arrows painted onto trees for half the hike but don´t follow them forever since…
