Boasting a rich cultural heritage, Masaya is renowned for its vibrant arts and craft markets, where traditional ceramics, hammocks, and other handmade goods are abundant.

The charming city serves as a unique blend of history and nature, and acts as a notable beacon of Nicaraguan pride.

Nicaragua

Traveling to Nicaragua is currently advised against due to several reasons, including the arbitrary enforcement of laws, risk of wrongful detainment, and limited availability of healthcare. Due to the ongoing political unrest, possibility of civil agitation and increased rates of crime, caution is paramount. If travel is a necessity, be sure to stay vigilant, avoid any signs of political or social disturbance, and take every measure to safeguard yourself against crime. The overall risk of violent crime further necessitates a heightened level of caution. Both the United States, Canadian, and Australian governments advise against non-essential travels to Nicaragua at this time.
