Concepción is an active stratovolcano that forms the northwest part of the Isla de Ometepe.

Concepción is 1,610 m (5,280 ft) tall and rests on a 1-kilometer-thick (0.62 mi) thick base of Quaternary lacustrine mudstones.

This affects the magma chamber which begins the cycle again with growth because of magmatic flow.

Adventure seekers from all over the world travel to Ometepe Island to climb Volcán Concepción.

There are numerous trails in the tropical forest that surrounds the volcano's ash-covered peak.
