He also emphasizes that this can be climbed in a single push (without stations), the route is long, so they recommend leaving early in the morning, reaching the top can take between 10 and 11 hours, the greatest challenge being the altitude, as it is located at 1,610 meters (5,282 feet).
On the other hand, they emphasize how uncomfortable the path can become as you approach the summit, since it must be remembered that it is one of the highest volcanoes in Nicaragua, but the fresh air and vegetation help make the ascent less exasperating.

Telica Volcano, the best way to observe the center of the planet
The Telica volcano, in the west of the country, is also the protagonist of this article. Here, reference is made to the level of challenge, as you have to walk around six hours to reach the foot of the volcano and another two to reach the crater, this can change depending on the access point chosen.
Telica has an impressive view, and other craters can also be seen from the top.
Here, the sunsets become magical, as the smoke emanating from the volcano combines with the colors of dusk, making it redder than usual. From the top you can see the green that bathes its slopes and extends across the fields.
Lonely Planet points out that if you are lucky at night you will see lava boiling - at a depth of less than 120 meters.
