Masaya Travel Blogs

On the 3rd we had a nice late start as some of us had decided to visit the markets in Masaya, a town about 20km from Granada. The buses left every 30min so we could leave whenever we wanted. I was glad we had decided to go there as the markets were really good. We visited both the Mercado Municipal…

I know i am forgetting to write something that happened before this but i wanted to share my experience while it was still very fresh in my head. We did a tour of volcan masaya and it was one of my greatest experiences. We were picked up in a micro bus in granada and taken to masaya for a brief sho…

Visited the Masaya volcano park, with the active Santiago Crater.  It's a bit expensive to visit if you're not a resident or anything- about 70 cordobas for foreigners as opposed to 20 for residents.  I would say that either way, it's worth it for a different experience.The drive up to th…

I took a chicken bus down to Masaya and found a room in Hostel Mi Casa... $5 for a private room and a hot shower. After a quick breakfast I hopped on a similar chicken bus going back to Managua and hopped out a few miles north of town in the middle of nowhere at the park entrance for Volcan Mas…

I spent one week in Nicaragua for two reasons: it was my last Central American nation to visit, and it was my birthday! After 5 days of my usual 'backpacking' and roughing it, I spent the last two days in an all-inclusive Pacific resort... It was a great gift and trip!!

Almost nobody knows about Nicaragua in the sense of being a atractive to visitors. People... you are really missing something out there! Nicaragua is a country that really surprised me to death since the begining, it is a wonderful country, with unspoiled nature, huge clean beaches, with lots of diversity of landscapes and life species... to all of that add their friendly people. I invite you to see a little bit of what i saw.
