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 in order to exorcise the Devil.

What To Expect

Masaya Volcano National Park 2025

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 4:00 PM. 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.

Very fun activities, Moses was very professional, he saved us a lot of time and his company made our activity fun and enriching. We recommend it to you to learn better about the culture but also to make everything faster and easier. His English is perfect which allows us to ask all the necessary questions and better organize our trip! The payment is done online, something that we were initially worry of, but everything is very well organized and it went well! Thank you a thousand times Moses and see you soon :)

Moises was an absolutely exceptional guide. He was well informed on all aspects of Nicaragua and was personable and fun. He has a really great and comprehensive perspective on the country, nature, and... just all of it! He turned our experience into an informative and awesome evening and was super flexible in accommodating our plans. Just for comparison- last time I went to the Masaya Volcano, I booked a different guide bc I didn't know any better. They essentially dumped us off, told us nothing, and charged a ton of money. Not Moises! He spent so much time making sure we had the best evening ever. Book with this company- you absolutely won't regret it!!!
Highly recommended !
