What goes up must come down. But why walk, when you can strap on a custom-built
volcano board and rip-roar your way down a slope of fine volcanic ash? That's the genesis
of volcano surfing. And one of the best spots on the planet to dig this new adrenaline sport
is atop 700-plus-meter Volcán Cerro Negro in northwestern Nicaragua's Reserva Natural
Pilas-El Hoyo . Tour operators in León will even provide you with cool jumpsuits for your
dusty-bottomed descent.
