After breakfast, depart from the hotel and head towards Granada City.
On the way to Granada, visit the Masaya Volcano National Park, established in 1979 as Nicaragua's first national park, showcases nature, geological wonders, and rich history. Begin at the Environmental Interpretation Center, where a guide outlines the volcano's significance to indigenous peoples and the geological processes that shaped it. While access to the Santiago crater lava viewpoint is restricted, explore the "Comalito" trail, winding through lush forests and active fumaroles. Observe diverse flora and fauna along the way. Reach a scenic lookout offering panoramic views of Mombacho Volcano and Granada City, with close-up sights of Masaya Lagoon—a volcanic lake with cultural importance to indigenous communities.
Next, visit the Masaya Arts and Crafts Market, just fifteen minutes away, to shop for local ceramics, hammocks, wood, and leather souvenirs.
After a day of exploration, head off for Granada. Founded in 1524, Granada is Nicaragua’s most visited city, known for its colonial and neoclassical architecture, vibrant cobbled streets, and relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy an evening taking in the sites.
