Nicaragua is one of Central America’s most stunning countries and some of its most breathtaking natural wonders happen to be volcanoes. They’re pretty popular with the tourists looking for an unforgettable adventure, and here are some of the most visited volcanoes in this country.

Cerro Negro

The youngest volcano in Central America, Cerro Negro was first spotted in 1850, and it erupted on numerous occasions in the decades to come. That’s not stopping it from being one of Nicaragua’s most popular tourist attractions, especially with hikers who love exploring its trails.

Masaya Volcano

Located on the premises of Masaya Volcano National Park, Masaya is one of the most easily accessible volcanoes that you’ll ever come across. Its most popular feature is the active caldera with an interior lava lake, and a single look inside it will take your breath away.

Mombacho Volcano

If you want to visit a volcano while in Nicaragua without fearing for your safety, Mombacho is one of the best picks. This extinct volcano hasn’t erupted since 1570, and it offers two hiking trails with amazing views of the surrounding cloud forest, Lake Nicaragua, and the nearby city of Granada.
