We're doing a magazine for SOS International, a Dutch firm. In that magazine there's an item about exotic places to ski. We would very much like to use one image about the Cerro Negro volcano boarding article. Would that be possible? Can you get hold of a couple of High resolution images and mail them to us. It would help a lot! Thanks in advance, Bas Evers Hi there!

You’ll never guess where! « E n c h a n t i n g E d e n Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:18:08 +0000 http://www.wayfaring.info/2009/04/21/cerro-negro/#comment-183433 [...] Such an extreme sport is often notably at Cerro Negro. It’s hot, dusty, a little scary – and crazy enough to be fun. Cerro Negro is accessible from Leon, a colonial city historically emerged as a center of left-wing intellectualism that is about 15 miles southwest of the roughly 2,388-foot mountain (the height can vary from eruption to eruption, experts say). The city was once a Sandinista stronghold occupied by poets, revolutionaries and university students. Nowadays despite from its spectacular churches, bright-hued colonial architecture, Leon is becoming synonymous, at least among backpacking adventure-seekers, with volcano boarding. The picture shows boarders receiving instructions on how to balance, steer and control speed on the slope, which is 41 degrees at its steepest. With pebbles and dust flying everywhere, the ride is bumpy and the noise deafening. The whole run only takes a few minutes to descend. Volcano Boarding, isn’t exactly child’s play, it takes some practicing to do properly, but it’s irresistible, and everyone wants to give it a try. It’s a relatively cheap adventure and a novel challenge, with actual technique required and speeds recorded. The post-boarding mojito that Bigfoot throws in didn’t hurt either. Bigfoot Hostel runs boarding tours Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The price is $28, including $5 park admission. Dorm rooms at the hostel cost $6 a night; there are also four double rooms for $13, and a room for four is $28. Source: wayfaring [...] [...] Such an extreme sport is often notably at Cerro Negro.
