Parque Nacional Volcan Masaya.

A beautiful National Park with an impressive smoking cone, with sulphurus fumes coming from the crater. It´s really a very interesting visit.

San Jeronimo Church. Masaya City.

Masaya is a small village located 29 kms south of Managua. It has a famous big Crafts Market, i only visit the outskirts of the city (to buy suntan lotion and water) and visit the San Cristobal church and park, it was clean and peaceful, but as a Vt member suggested me the rest of town it´s not so clean and calm.

Views of Managua and the lake.

The Park offers great views of the area near Managua.

Nice photos from Masaya Vulcano! I haven't been there for many years (19), but hope to revisit later this year.
