With a height of 1,394 metres, Maderas is the smaller of the two volcanoes which make up the island of Ometepe. The volcano, and the island upon which it sits, is situated in Lake Nicaragua in Nicaragua, Central America. Unlike Concepción, the other volcano on the island, Maderas has not been active in historical times. Its crater contains a crater lake. The slopes of Maderas are one of the few places on the Pacific side of Nicaragua where cloud forests grow.
