I am always amazed at some of the things people manage to transport while riding a motorcycle. -S🇳🇮
🇳🇮 Nicaragua
Posts from our time in Nicaragua in January 2026.
Our last adventure of the day was a boat ride on Lake Nicaragua among the many small islands. We were even lucky enough to find some spider monkeys. -J 🇳🇮
We enjoyed a brief carriage ride around Grenada, one of the first European cities in the Americas, founded by Cordoba in 1524. -J 🇳🇮
Masaya Volcano National Park
Thursday, January 22, 2026
We were fortunate enough to be able to visit Masaya Volcano National Park, Nicaragua’s oldest and largest National Park. It was closed in March 2024, when a landslide covered the lava lake with debris, blocking the release of volcanic gases. As a result, there is a significant potential for volcanic explosion. The Park has been closed until very recently. They have reopened, but due to the explosion potential, a ranger is based at the overlook strictly enforcing the rule that groups are only permitted to spend 5 minutes there before they must leave the park.
After breakfast, we stopped in Catarina to visit the overlook to a crater lake and check out the markets. - J 🇳🇮
After standing in immigration lines for two hours, we’ve made it into Nicaragua. Here was our traditional breakfast just over the border, which provided a great view of the two volcanoes of Ometepe Island on Lake Nicaragua (Lago Cocibolca). -S 🇳🇮
