>The seven known persistent lava lakes are Mount Nyiragongo (DR Congo), Erta Ale (Ethiopia), Mount Erebus (Antarctica), Ambrym and Mount Yasur (Vanuatu), Kilauea (Hawaii) and Masaya (Nicaragua). I’ve been to Masaya in Nicaragua twice but didn’t know it was one of only 7 with a free flowing lake. The cabs park facing the exit and keep their engines running. The place smells like fireworks and the second time we went it was really active. As a side note, I can reccommend going to Guanacaste in Costa Rica and crossing the no mans land border to Nicaragua for a fun experience. Granda, Nicaragua is a wonderful town near the Volcano. Be on alert Nicaragua is not safe especially compared to Costa Rica. Spend some time in Guanacaste and visit some towns. Experience the Pura Vida lifestyle!
