| | El Pinolero's Website - Volcán Masaya National Park |
 | | Masaya, the country's shortest volcano at only 635 meters high, sure has made a lot of noise. |
 | | Masaya possesses two crater: one of its same name, which last erupted in 1772, and San Fernado while Nindirí has two: one of its same name and San Pedro; the remaining crater, Santiago, lies between these two volcanoes and it's the only active one. |
 | | The natives (chorotegas), in the other hand, called Volcán Masaya "Popogatepe" (burning mountain) and when it'd erupt, they thought it was a sign of anger from the gods so in order to calm it down, they had to sacrifice young children by thowing them into the crater. |
