Only $2 USD, interesting fort and nice views, sadly poorly preserved, graffiti everywhere and road to get to it from main road is absolutely HORRENDOUS!!! also be careful, Spanish speaking guard/guide took me below to see the dungeon/torture chambers.. interesting but most things have been removed, only one original door left that was cool, but be careful! He didn't tell me that it cost extra and tried to get $8 US out of me for a 2 minute tour of the dungeon.. ended up giving him 100 Cordoba ($3 US approximately) then left, not happy

still here, still $2 (plus $1 for the tunnel tour) The last 4 years haven't been kind to this place and there's lots of graffiti, rubbish, and potholes, but the view is still nice and the experience is now more like UrbEx

nice view on Masaya, the volcano and the lake. Entrance 2$ pp. we took a guided tour (no price, only tip) of what they call the tunnels. it's recommended if you want to understand the place but be prepared to be frighted.
