On my way south from Leon, I found that I was going to be heading right past the active volcano of Masaya. What made this even more exciting, was the fact that you can drive to it.
In Antigua, Guatemala, there are numerous volcano treks offered to see an active volcano there erupt at dawn when you're drinking your morning coffee. These were two day treks, and anyone I talked to that did them said that it was grueling, but very exciting to see an active volcano. These excursions sounded hard and I had a boo boo on my foot and it was at 4000m above sea level and my knees hurt and I didn't do it.
Masaya was more my style. You could only park at the top for 5 minutes...I think so that if it erupted, they'd only kill a few tourists.
Also got stopped by the cops for "speeding". They're much cheaper than Mexico. Roads are better too.
