The origin of sandboarding

Sandboarding in Nicaragua began on the Cerro Negro volcano. Australian Daryn Webb experimented with different objects to slide down the black volcanic ash.

Around 2004, she developed a special board that made descending easier and safer. The activity soon became one of the most popular tours in León.

Today, volcano boarding is one of the most demanded experiences in Nicaragua.
