Masaya

Tucked into Nicaragua’s Pacific lowlands near Masaya Volcano, Masaya is a city whose character is shaped by the volcanic terrain of the country’s western side. It lies close to Masaya Volcano National Park, where the active Santiago crater is a defining feature of the volcanic complex. In the centre, the Mercado de Artesanías brings together hammocks, pottery, leatherwork and other Nicaraguan crafts, continuing Masaya’s long association with artisan production. Its streets and plazas make it a useful stop between Managua and Granada, while nearby volcanoes give the area a distinctly inland character.
