Managua's best-known monument is a statue of Sandino, the popular Nicaraguan revolutionary, which is located in the Loma de Tiscapa National Historical Park, a wonderful park from which you can also enjoy a fantastic view of the city and the Momotombo volcano. But don't worry, it hasn't erupted in over 400 years! In addition, Nicaragua has been inhabited for 6,000 years, and the Acahualinca Footprints (near the southern shore of Lake Managua) offer visitors a window into this prehistoric era. The site is named after a group of miners who, in 1874, found the fossilized footprints of about 10 fairly tall people, as well as some animal tracks. Near the site you can also find a museum with a lot of really interesting artifacts including ceramic items and human skulls.
