Nicaragua

volcanoes.
And
with
19
volcanoes

the
country,

be
derived

word

roughly
translated

“kingdom
surrounded
by
large
bodies
of
water”,

is
no
wonder
why.

masaya volcano in Nicaragua

Masaya Volcano

The
Masaya
Volcano
is
one
of
the
most
popular
tourists
stops
in
Nicaragua
and
perhaps
the
most
famous
volcano
in
Nicaragua
because
of
its
location
near
Managua
and
the
cultural
city
of
Masaya.
Once
called
the
mouth
of
hell,
this
volcano
is
an
obligatory
stop
at
sundown,
the
best
time
to
take
in
the
full
splendor
of
the
crater
and
its
red
lava,
a
truly
unique
and
unforgettable
spectacle
for
the
eyes.
  

For
that
reason,
the
Masaya
Volcano
is
often
the
last
stop
on
our
Granada
&
Masaya
Lakes
&
Volcanoes
tour.
Although
the
Masaya
volcano
is
active,
it
has
not
had
any
significant
eruptions
in
over
14
years
and
remains
a
safe
and
popular
place
for
sightseeing.
