Work With Hey Tours

Two of the most inspiring people I've gotten the chance to work with thus far, are entrepreneurs named Alvaro and Nicoly. Alvaro and Nicoly are married and run two businesses, a local clothing shop and a social tourism business, Hey Tours. Our team has been working with Hey Tours to better market their offerings to a wide array of clients and other tour operators. In the future we will be helping them measure their social and economic impact for their community, and hopefully helping them expand their business. For now, here are some photo from a "Quality Control" trip.

Alvaro took our group to the Masaya Volcano National Park. The Masaya Volcano is still active and is known to still periodically throw rocks and molten material from its crater at a moments notice. In addition one should only spend 15 minutes or so near its crater as the sulfuric fumes can become intense. We didn't see any lava on this day because of how smokey the crater was.

Formally known as the gate of hell

This cross was placed here in 1536 to protect locals from the Volcano

Smoke and fog coming off the crater, countless buzzards were flying above the smoke

Friends!

Has withstood a number of small explosions and other damage. Currently inaccessible for people.

  3. Dear Alex

    My name is Joe Pinzone and I'm casting an international travel show about expats moving abroad. We'd love to film in Central America/Caribbean and wanted to know if you could help us find expats who have moved there within the last 15 months or have been there for 3-4 years, but recently moved into a new home. The show documents their move to a new country and will place the country in fabulous light. The contributors on the show would also receive monetary compensation if they are filmed. If you'd like more information, please give me a call at 212-231-7716 or skype me at joefromnyc. You can also email me at joepinzone@leopardusa.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.

  5. Great post and photos. Too bad you were at the volcano during daylight hours. There is a lot of steam and smoke at night too, but the lava is much more visible because the smoke is not reflecting sunlight. Day or night though, it is pretty spectacular.
