Nicaragua’s San Cristobal spews some ash
Jul 13th, 2008 by Kevin
If you saw the news that Nicaragua’s San Cristobal volcano had a small eruption of gas and ash you may be wondering - is this a safe place to invest? Nicaragua is the land of lakes and volcanoes and these geological formations are part of the draw to this wonderful country. Yes San Cristobal and others are still categorized as active, but then again so are a number of the volcanoes in the cascades as well as those on Hawaii. It is definitely something to consider as a potential risk, but be sure to weigh the risks and benefits of these beautiful formations accordingly when doing your own due diligence. To us their asetetic beaty and tourism qualities far outweigh the risk of devastation due to major eruption. They offer hiking and climbing as well as sand surfing!
We get asked the question about volcanoes and investment risk quite often. Our 200 acrea Las Laderas property is actually on the lowest slopes of the Cosiguina volcano in the northwest corner of Nicaragua. However this volcano is dormant and actually has a beautiful lake in the crater, offering great opportunities for hiking and horseback riding in the area!
