At 4:00 pm you will depart toward Masaya Volcano for the night adventure. The tour starts right before sunset, with a visit to the cross (La Cruz de Bobadilla) overlooking the volcano and the surroundings. Next is the observation of Green Parakeets that come back to the volcano to roost. These birds have somehow adapted to the sulfur smoke from the volcano and actually live within the crater. The second attraction is to watch a massive number of bats depart in a large group from their caves, another great natural spectacle.
Follows a visit to an underground tunnel which was formed by lava streams. Equipped with flashlight and helmet, visitors can enter the tunnel and observe the interesting rock formations. The adventure ends with a visit to a viewpoint that provides the possibility to actually look inside the crater mouth of the volcano, observing the red and glowing lava.
