A hot night in Masaya

5.00We loved this excursion. My husband and I both agree it is something you are not going to find anywhere in the world. You get to drive up to the crater of a volcano and look in side. With much luck, you don’t die. Just joking. But it’s still exciting. To learn about Nicaragua, Managua, , its history and culture, from a knowledgeable local was icing on the cake. We were very fortunate to have Ellis as our guide.
