🌋 Masaya Volcano Night Tour – Glowing Crater & Museum Visit
🌑 Masaya Volcano: A Dramatic Nighttime Encounter
Embark on an unforgettable journey to Masaya Volcano, Nicaragua’s most active and accessible volcano. This dramatic natural wonder draws visitors from around the world, especially in the evening when the glowing crater transforms the night sky into a scene from another world. Departing from Granada, this tour includes a visit to the Masaya Museum and a scenic drive through the national park, all leading up to the highlight: witnessing the incandescent Santiago Crater.
🔥 Night Tour to the Lava Lake: A Bucket-List Experience
Our guided night tour takes you right to the edge of the smoking lava lake, offering rare views of active volcanic activity in real-time. Unlike daytime tours, this excursion lets you observe the mesmerizing red glow inside the crater after sunset. It’s safe, convenient, and incredibly photogenic. You’ll learn about the volcano’s fiery history, the region’s rich culture, and the ongoing volcanic monitoring that keeps this site one of the top attractions in Nicaragua.
⏳ Important Note: Due to high visitation, access to the crater area is limited to 5 minutes per group.
