Masaya

Among Nicaragua’s regions, Masaya stands out for its active volcanic terrain and long-established craft traditions. Masaya Volcano National Park brings together the Masaya Volcano complex, the Santiago crater and Lake Masaya, a crater lake set within the volcanic landscape. The department’s capital, Masaya city, is widely known as the City of Flowers and for an artisan tradition expressed in hammocks, pottery, leather goods and woodwork. Its craft market has helped make the city an important stop for Nicaraguan popular arts. Located just southeast of Managua, Masaya also forms part of the country’s densely settled Pacific lowlands.
