Volcán Masaya


After some very nice days in Diriamba, the two of us undertake a little trip in between to Volcano Masaya and Granada. Kindly we can take the car from Alfredo’s uncle Juan. The roads in Nicaragua are in excellent condition and it’s a pleasure to drive through the countryside!




The acitve volcano in Masaya is a real treat! When we were in Nicaragua 3 years ago and stayed at the family’s finca in La Concha - which is just opposite to the volcano -  we had great views already. Now we got to witness the volcano with its impressive crater from really close! You can actually drive up to the crater, park your car in evacuation-position and stay for 5 minutes…


Once up there we were amazed that you can see lava even during daytime. We were told that there had been some seismological movement this year and in the first time since 30 years lava could be seen during daytime. Really cool!
 






Here you can see a model of the volcano chain Los Maribios! Last time in Nicaragua we climbed 5 of them…
