Masaya Volcano:
An active volcano where you will have the opportunity to stand right next to its crater and hear it rumbling and spewing of gases, which makes for a rare and incredible sight.
Next stop: Granada!
Granada is a Colonial-era town near Lake Nicaragua. Our Costa Rica to Nicaragua tour will stop at La Merced Church, which is considered one of the most beautiful buildings of Granada. It is flanked by a large tower that houses the church bells. You will ascend the stairs and reach the roof of the church. From here, you’ll have a panoramic city view of Granada, Mombacho Volcano, and Nicaragua Lake with the islets. This is the perfect place to take pictures of the beautiful city and the surroundings.
Lake Nicaragua:
Your last stop is a one hour boat ride in Lake Nicaragua viewing the Nicaraguan Islets around sunset.
