Volcanoes occupy a special place in our collective imagination. They are wondrous natural structures, stretching back in geological time to the murky depths of our origins and possess a terrible power of destruction. For these reasons, good volcano experiences can be among the most thrilling. Here are three unique volcano adventures you’ve got to experience.
Aogashima, Japan
Located on an island about 200 miles south of Tokyo, Aogashima is a sleepy, traditional Japanese town built within an active volcano. Half the population was killed around 230 years ago when the last eruption took place. But the villagers won’t let the volcano master their lives. Paying a visit to this unique town will change your perspective forever.
Pyrenees of Girona
One of the most beautiful regions in Europe, you can take a hot air balloon ride over the Pyrenees of Girona volcanoes. Feel like a bird soaring through the air with a god’s eye view of this magisterial natural beauty.
Nicaragua Volcano Surfing
Volcano surfing is an extreme sport where you board down the slope of an active or inactive volcano. One of the most popular places for volcano boarding is Nicaragua in Central America.
