About this

Masaya Volcano

Masaya Volcano National Park in Nicaragua centers on an active volcanic complex that includes several craters, most notably the continuously smoking Santiago Crater. The park features marked trails that lead to overlooks where visitors can view bubbling lava, fumaroles, and solidified lava fields. It also contains dry tropical forest and bat caves that provide habitat for local wildlife. Facilities include a visitor center and parking areas near the main crater rim, and the site is typically reached by a short drive from Managua.
