A volcano you sandboard down after looking into the glowing lava lake at the top, a colonial city painted every colour at once, and prices that make the whole trip feel like a rounding error.
The best time to visit Nicaragua's volcanoes and colonial towns is Nov–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 34°C (92°F).
