Conquering Concepcion Volcano on Ometepe Island

Named after the Virgin Mary by the Spanish and reaching heights of 1,610 meters (5,282 feet), Concepcion Volcano the highest point of #Nicaragua's Ometepe Island. Even when Javier, Eric and Tim — the #IntrepidTravel group members brave enough to take on the trek — questioned my sanity, I didn’t think it would be that difficult. As the only female in the group signing up for the trek I also felt it was my duty to show these guys up. And, I did. Well, not really. But I did make it to the very tippy top of the volcano even though I wanted to cry the entire time. Sure, I was covered in sweat, mud, cuts, bruises and bugs, but I did it — and the mix of otherworldly landscapes and #adventure made it a #trip highlight.
