Hiking Madera

I am looking for specific information on hiking Madera on Ometepe -- where is the trail head, how many miles is it, what is the typical hiking time, etc? Would like to hike it in early July.

Maderas is a way cool trek. I own a kayak tour outfitter business in Costa Rica and take tourists paddling in Lake Nicaragua and Omotepe is my favorit destination in Nicaragua. Maderas is best sumited with a guide. They are very cheap and the experience is so rich. Take plenty of power bars and water. It is a very physical hike and you'd better be in very good shape for this one as this is an all day trek and very physical. Let me know how you did.
