During the rainy season, it is common for rainwater to percolate into the volcano, causing it to emit lots of acidic steam. The population of Masaya is of about 150,000 people of mostly indigenous, German or Spanish ancestry, and the only city in Pacific and Mountainous Nicaragua with the highest unmixed indigenous population.
