Wonderful museum or visitor center included in your park entry fee. Well worth checking out and spending 30-60 minutes. They’ve just added a restaurant as well. Lots of cool charts, maps, animals, and stuff worn and used in the recent crossing of the volcano on the tight rope

Museum of Legends and Traditions (Museo de Tradiciones y Leyendas)

Reviewed By JasH834

Located in an old prison from pre revolution. We received a nice guided tour by a very knowledgeable gentleman. There are line paintings on all the walls that describe the horrors of torture in the prison.Its hard to imagine 400 men imprisoned in such a place. Inside the rooms are crude charactures representing Nicaraguan folk lore,legends and traditions. We were not sure if we should laugh .We enjoyed the experience very much. You can even walk around the perimeterup on the top of the wall.
