General information
The Masaya Volcano National Park covers an area of 54 km² and includes two volcanoes and five craters. The volcanoes have erupted several times in history and were feared by both the indigenous people and the Spanish conquerors. The Spanish baptized the active volcano “La Boca del Infierno” or “The Mouth of Hell”. They placed a cross, “La Cruz de Bobadilla” (named after Father Francisco Bobadilla), on the crater lip in the 16th century to exorcise the Devil.
The eruptions have had a dramatic impact on the surroundings. Rocks and volcanic ashes still cover the area surrounding the volcanoes. Nature is rough yet peaceful. Different types of vegetation appeared after the eruptions. The park is also inhabited by many different kinds of animals. The park’s wildlife includes coyotes, skunks, raccoons, opossums, deer, iguanas, and monkeys.
About The Night Tour
On this tour, you will meet one of Nicaragua’s most active volcanoes. At nightfall, you will reach the volcano summit by vehicle. Witness a unique natural event and see a lava lake flowing from the bottom of the crater, forming a river of magma that glows in the dark and illuminates the interior of the volcano.
The spectacle begins when the sky is getting dark or is already dark, allowing you to see thousands of stars. The wind flows free. You hear a sound like the rumbling of the sea. And, from the edge of the crater, right to the bottom of it, you will see an amazing lava lake that moves with its incandescent color. The visit to the crater lasts between 10 and 20 minutes (depending on the total number of visitors at the entrance).
Every day, since sunset, the visit of Masaya Volcano Night Tour starts at 4:30 PM, depending on the visitor’s flow. You just need to get to the main entrance road; if there are people or groups before you, you will need to stand in line, as visitors are allowed to enter and go to the crater in order of arrival.
The total duration of this tour to see the lava lake is approx. 2.5 hours with transportation time, it might take longer if unexpected reasons such as road accidents, weather, or others that are not mentioned above but that affect the itinerary.
