Day 8
Masaya
It’s not everyday you get to get to visit an active volcano and watch the molten lava bubble and flow, but on Day Eight of our Discover Nicaragua tour that’s exactly what you’ll do! The Masaya Volcano National Park consists of two volcanoes and five craters, and is conveniently located on the journey from León to Granada. Marvel at one of nature’s most violent and awe-inspiring creations, and find out why Spanish conquerors christened this volcano “The Mouth of Hell”. The volcano and its surroundings is a place of drama and unique natural beauty. Centuries of eruptions have created a rough yet peaceful landscape, inhabited by a wide variety of flora and fauna. You can expect to meet coyotes, raccoons, deer, iguanas, and monkeys along your travels, to name a few. After Masaya Volcano it’s time to visit the Market of Masaya, famous for its handicrafts, foodstuffs and pottery. This market is a one-stop shop for souvenirs and crafts that will remind your wonderful adventures in Nicaragua long after your trip is over.
