  2. This does not compare to anything you have seen before, the surprising incandescent lava from the highest point of the crater. The volcanic complex is made up of a nest of calderas and craters, Las Sierras being the largest of them. Within the latter lies the Masaya volcano itself. This houses the Masaya caldera, formed about 2,500 years ago by a basaltic eruption. Within this caldera, a new basaltic complex has grown from eruptions, especially in a semicircular set of fumaroles that include the Nindirí and Masaya cones.
