Last week Nellie and I completed an intense 7 hour trek on the island of Ometepe in Nicaragua. We made it to the top of Maderas Volcano and the look out point on the crater lake at 1,330m. It was an amazing experience and this video documents that.
We have been travelling Central America now for almost two months and this is definitely one of the highlights.
Hope you like the video and as always thanks for watching!! See you on the next one!!

Great video! Brought back memories for me. I was there in 2012 running a race called Fuego y Agua 50k. Maderas is truly one of the best adventures of my life.

@stephensingleterry8047 6 лет назад

Parts of the trail up to the volcano looked more like an obstacle course. You have a very enjoyable videography style, it gives your viewer the feeling of being along for the journey.

Nice one man!! Have fun!!

@carlosvanvegas 6 лет назад

Man 'Picture Postcard' views, just jaw droppingly gorgeous scenes on this video, I really like that you give a plug to the locals you're meeting, I hope this can generate some business, Jameel didn't look out of breath whatsoever!! You all must be super fit, I think I'd be as slow as a Tortuga going uphill... Loved that trek, must be such a big achievement for you too Greg, well done to you both!!

@gregsnell 6 лет назад

Yo yo Carlos!! Yeah they deserve the shout for all the amazing hard work. Guiding that volcano every day / week is not an easy job.

@nicachancho 6 лет назад

@gregsnell 6 лет назад

@gregsnell 6 лет назад

linuxmind Thanks Linux!!! The song is called Tired of Waiting by Ts'Anna McDowell I licensed it through www.art-list.io if interested to find er :)

@TheFlatronify 6 лет назад

Thanks :) I'd love to be out there right now too, pretty cold here in Germany at 4°C + rain

@thomasmaes6620 4 года назад

Where did you start the hike from? Cause I read there are 3 options and I really want the same view as you at 3:10 and you also saw a fair amount of wildlife :D amaaazing

@gregsnell 4 года назад

Hi Thom, we hiked from Santa Cruz right at the base. This is also where we stayed to make sure the early morning start wasn't too hard.

@2mooch 6 лет назад

I've heard this is the easier of the two hikes...is it a steady climb or really steep...just want to know what I'm in for. Thanks!

@gregsnell 6 лет назад

Yeah we thought it was the easier as well. I've actually done Concepcion as well, but it was like ten years ago so my memory is a bit off. Either way, if it's raining both will be hard. The big plus about Maderas is the lake at the top and also it doesn't have that Sombrero Hat Cloud on it all the time. You'll see from this video how tough it was for us that day though. Slippery and muddy, but well worth the effort :) Have fun and let us know when you're done.

Hi Greg, super video ! I'm Luca, a french journalist, working for a website called Jetlag (www.demotivateur.fr/jetlag). With the team, we would like to edit a short video about this amazing Ometepe Island, and more precisely about the two "Volcanos twins" and we loved your video, some images are really cool ! I would like to know if I can use some parts of your video to create a short film/video about this strange statue and post it on our page and social network ? Of course, you will be credited on screen and tag on it. Cheers !

@gregsnell 6 лет назад

Hi Bob, yeah I got your email. Cheers for reaching out man. Sounds cool. I've responded to you there.

@Cassetrop 6 лет назад

Cool videos but I have one comment, the music is way too loud when compared to your voices, it's a bit annoying to have to play with my volume at each transition. Thank you and keep up the good work.

@gregsnell 6 лет назад

Hey man thanks for the tip. That could be a bit of an issue with my editing headphone playback. I did notice something similar in a recent edit, I'll keep my ears open going forward. Glad you dig the video though man.
