Lost Waterfalls Hike - Boquete, Panama
Cascadas Perdidas- Lost Waterfalls.
Easy Hike, there are 3 waterfalls, total is 5km and 400m of elevation ascend to all three and back to the start.
I went during the rainy season, so it started to rain once we got there.
$2 taxi/bus to the start location. I decided to hike with a group of 3 from the Netherlands! They were great.
Pay toll to enter was $7, which seemed expensive to see some natural waterfalls. We would have entered but the dog was barking. It was fun anyways! :)

Concepcion Volcano, Ometepe, Nicaragua
Volcano 2, Concepcion
It is still an active volcano. The trail for this volcano was different. It started with some jungle trekking, and as you got higher it became a scramble over rocks. One side of the volcano (my ascent) was rocky, but my descent from the other side of the volcano was through vegetation.
Total ascent was over 1500m, took about 2 hours to get up and 2 hours to get down. My IT bands were my weakness this week. Overall a fun hike, you can still smell sulfur on the peak of the volcano and see some gaseous action.

Maderas Volcano, Ometepe, Nicaragua
Volcano 1, Maderas
I was carrying my 10kg bag with me. The ascent was roughly 1300m and took me almost 3 hours. The top of the volcano was really muddy so it took more time. At the top there was a crater of water that you could swim if you wanted. I'm pretty sure I was the only person that had taken a laptop to the top of this volcano :D
The trail contained lots of jungle trekking, maneuvering around the mud and knee deep sink holes, and avoiding hitting your head on trees.

The trail was more popular than the first hike and the snow was padded down on the trail. Sliding downhill was fun

Monkey Mountain , Da Nang, Vietnam
Ended up running from the beach, all the way up to the mountain,
Total elevation gain was 1300m, and 21km. It actually got a little chilly on the top of the hill
