Lava Tour Masaya

Tour Overview

Experience one of Central America's most active volcanoes. At nightfall, reach the volcano summit by vehicle, witnessing a unique natural event: see lava flowing from the bottom of the crater, forming a river of magma that glows in the dark and illuminates the interior of the volcano.

During the conquest, the Spaniards baptized the active volcano as "the mouth of hell" and planted a cross in the 16th century to exorcise the devil. A truly mesmerizing mix of natural power and rich history.
