Volcán Mombacho, located near the city of Granada in Nicaragua, is a stratovolcano renowned for its rich biodiversity and historical significance. Unique for its cloud forest and dwarf forest, which are home to many endemic species, Mombacho’s last eruption occurred in 1570. Today, it is a popular tourist destination offering hiking trails with varying difficulty, including a moderate path around the main crater and a more challenging trail, El Puma, which requires a guide. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Lake Nicaragua and Granada, explore over 700 plant species, including numerous orchids, and experience the distinct ecosystem forged from volcanic activity.
