Masaya Volcano Gallery

The crater by day and after dark, the trails, the museum and the caldera at dusk — what you will actually be looking at on Masaya Volcano Tours. The glow shots are all evening-session photographs — day or night at Masaya Volcano explains why the orange only reads once the light has gone, and Masaya Volcano National Park names the places these were taken from.
