Hiking Masaya Volcano Crater in Nicaragua

Here I am at Masaya Volcano National Park in #Nicaragua -- they country's first and largest national park and one of 76 protected areas in Nicargua (aka 18.2% of the country's national territory). I'm doing a 90-minute circuit #hike along the edge of Masaya Crater. I pass myriad viewpoints reached by steep up and downhill climbs over loose volcanic rock and pebble. Vultures swarm over Lake Nicaragua and Lake Managua, as i spy out over water, mountain and volcanic landscape from heights of 635 meters (2,083 feet) above sea level. #Wow!
