(POV) Somoto Canyon Caves and River Hike Nicaragua

Do you feel like hiking today but don't want to get off the couch? Well here is your chance! Come along with me as I explore the Canyons, caves and river of Somoto Canyon in Nicaragua. On this solo mission you will see what only a small section of this canyon is all about!  There are plenty of spots to swim in, jump from, caves to camp in and start fires in. Your imagination is your best friend!!!

The Somoto Canyon was relatively unexplored until a group of scientists from the Czech Republic and Nicaragua (INETER) discovered the canyon in 2004. The canyon is believed to have formed 5 to 13 million years ago during the Miocene period. After its discovery in 2004, the Somoto Canyon has been developing into a tourist attraction, further helping the growth of tourism in Nicaragua. However, this has also had a negative effect with incidents such as graffiti being written on the walls of the Canyon since its discovery.
