Getting there

Walking

Start at Parque Central de Masaya. From the park, head south on Calle 1ra, passing the Masaya Cathedral. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Calle 3ra. Turn left onto Calle 3ra and walk until you see the local market on your right. This area has local shops where you can buy snacks and drinks. Next, continue walking along Calle 3ra until you reach the bus terminal, which is located near the Mercado de Masaya.

Bus

From the bus terminal, look for a bus or 'microbus' heading to the town of Masatepe or Coyotepe. These buses are frequent and usually marked on the front. Board the bus and inform the driver that you are going to Coyotepe. The ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes. You will get off the bus at the closest stop to Fortaleza El Coyotepe.

Walking

Once you disembark, follow the signs leading to Fortaleza El Coyotepe. You'll need to walk uphill for about 1 kilometer. The path can be steep, so wear comfortable shoes. Enjoy the views as you ascend, and keep an eye out for local wildlife along the way.
