Masaya — Santiago Crater

The story behind the place

Santiago is an active crater within Masaya Volcano National Park. The surrounding volcanic complex has a broad, low profile rather than the shape of a single steep cone. Its scarred inner walls and escaping gases reveal a landscape still being changed by volcanic processes. Conditions at an active crater vary, so a view from one day should never be mistaken for a permanent picture of what lies below.
