Masaya Volcano National Park protects an active volcano between Managua and Masaya, where the Santiago crater constantly releases volcanic gases. The trip from the airport is about 29 km: cars take the airport link road south to the Managua to Masaya highway, reach the park entrance beside the highway and then climb a paved road of about 5 km through old lava fields to a car park on the crater rim. Opening hours and access to the rim depend on volcanic activity and are set by the park.
From the car park on the rim, a short walk leads to the viewpoint over the Santiago crater and to the Cruz de Bobadilla, a cross on the crater edge first placed in colonial times. Stays at the rim are kept short because of the gases. The visitor centre, with exhibitions on the volcano, is on the road between the entrance and the crater. The town of Masaya, with its artisan market, lies a few kilometres further south-east, and the hill fort of El Coyotepe stands on its northern edge.
Public transport: The airport operator's website lists no public bus or rail service from the terminal; the airport lies on the Carretera Norte about 11 km east of central Managua, and public buses towards Masaya leave from bus terminals inside the city, so there is no direct public transport link from the airport.
