Nicaragua is rich in volcanoes. Throughout the middle of the country there are large chains of volcanoes, where several are active. Just outside Granada, the town of Masaya, home to one of the constantly active volcanoes. The sizzling not make out all the time, the steamer just constant. This means that it is possible to look down into the volcano. The visibility of the volcano is low because of all of sulfur vapor, which also smelled a lot. You can not physically get right to the edge and look down into the crater. The government is probably afraid of scars people will cave into the volcano. The volcano is not very high, so it is accessible to all. You can actually drive all the way up there. Beside the crater is higher rocks, which built a small prospect mailing, so you can better look into the crater. Because the vapor is recommended only that, staying 15-20 minutes up on the prospect record. One can easily own a taxi to the Masaya volcano and see. It is not necessary with a guide - its just an expensive extra cost. Down in the town of Masaya is a good market with a large selection of souvenirs. Granada is an incredibly beautiful city with old colonial buildings are painted in beautiful colors. The concentration of the colorful houses and pleasant streets are most in Centro Historico - as the name also suggests:) This town is also the safest to live in. Try to go around Cental Park and down the Calla La Calzada. Here is one beautiful house after the other side by side. We sat and ate in the side of Calle La Calzada in the evening. Several children gathered outside on the street where they tried to make money by acting. They stood and clapped each other to create awareness. They whirled around his head. Tried to do forward and backward somersaults. They were quite young, so they were not privileged yet:)
