A near-perfect volcanic cone forming the northern half of Ometepe Island in Lake Nicaragua. The full-day ascent climbs from banana farms through cloud forest to a windswept, often steaming summit with lake views in every direction. It is one of the most demanding and rewarding hikes in the country.

The world is wide open.
