Bride of Xolotlan

Explore Managua's surroundings by going to Masaya Volcano (in Masaya) and Chocoyero-El Brujo Natural Reserve (in Ticuantepe). And it doesn't end there: don't miss a visit to Puerto Salvador Allende, get a new perspective on nature at Museo del Parque Volcan De Masaya, ponder the world of politics at PALACIO DE LA CULTURA, and relax and rejuvenate at Ayurveda Marma Spa.

Plan my Managua trip by asking Klarna Trips to come up with tips and suggestions.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Managua is an approximately 36-hour flight. You'll gain 14 hours traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Managua due to the time zone difference. Finish your sightseeing early on the 23rd (Sun) to allow enough time to drive to Granada.
