Masaya Volcano

One of the few places on Earth you can drive to the rim and look down into a glowing lava lake.

At Masaya you can drive right to the crater rim and — after dark especially — look straight down into a churning, glowing lava lake, one of only a handful on the planet you can see this easily.

It’s raw, smoking proof of the volcanic spine that runs the length of Central America.
