Masaya Things to See and Do

Most of Masaya's attractions are conveniently located within a few blocks of Parque Central. This makes visiting them easy and an energetic visitor can get to just about all of them in a single day, although this would be a busy day.

In the countryside surrounding Masaya, Laguna de Apoyo and Volcan Masaya are both outstanding and should not be missed. These two natural attractions are easily accessible and make perfect day-trips from Masaya.
