See this map for more detailed information.
Public Bus:
From Granada: Take any Masaya (and most Managua) bound bus from Granada and ask to be dropped off at Laguna De Apoyo or “La entrada de la laguna”. Usually it stops there anyway and there are buses going this route every half hour or so. This will get you to the entrance to the Laguna which is along side the Caraterra Masaya (highway). From here you can easily catch a taxi over the rim to the water, flag a ride, or walk the up and down hour and a half or so to the water front. There are no direct busses from Granada to the waterfront of the Laguna De Apoyo, however there are from Masaya. See directions from the entrance for more detail.
From Masaya: There are two daily buses that leave Masaya and go down to the water front of Laguna De Apoyo. They generally leave Masaya Market at 10:30 and 3:30 and arrive in Laguna De Apoyo an hour later at 11:30 am and 4:30 pm. Last bus on Sundays leaves the market around 2:30pm. Look for the buses with ‘La Laguna’ on the name plate in front or walk through the bus lot until you hear someone yelling ‘La Laguna’. There is another bus called ‘El Valle’ that will go to the Laguna but it stops at the rim. From the rim it is about a 45 minute walk down to the water – the views are awesome and you can sometimes catch a ride. There is also a bus that leaves the Laguna De Apoyo for Masaya Market at 6:30 am.
