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…
