Nicaragua's Cerro Negro Attracts Growing Volcano Boarding Adventure Tourists

The Costa del Sol region in southern Spain is experiencing a vibrant summer season with new luxury hotel openings in Marbella and San Roque, including the Kimpton Los Monteros Marbella and Fairmont La Hacienda, which emphasize tranquility and unique local heritage. Estepona, a coastal town at the foot of the Sierra Bermeja mountains, offers a blend of fishing traditions, cultural attractions such as the Mirador del Carmen cultural center, and revitalized gardens that showcase Andalusian charm. In Central America, Nicaragua's Cerro Negro volcano has become a hotspot for the extreme sport of volcano boarding, where thrill-seekers descend the black ash slopes at speeds up to 40 miles per hour, making it a must-try adventure for visitors. This exhilarating activity requires protective gear due to the volcanic ash and is gaining popularity alongside Nicaragua's coastal surf spots. Mexico also remains a premier outdoor destination for 2025, with regions like Valle de Bravo offering paragliding, mountain biking, and hiking amid diverse landscapes ranging from alpine valleys to coastal mangroves. These destinations collectively highlight a growing trend towards adventure tourism and experiencing nature through both tranquil luxury and high-adrenaline activities.
