Momotombo is a stratovolcano in Nicaragua, not far from the city of León. It stands on the shores of Lago de Managua.
The mountain is very symmetrical, and its form is a symbol of Nicaragua, cropping up in locations from matchboxes to revolutionary murals. This volcano was also very popular before World War I began. A lot of tourists came by, most popular in 1904, one year before the eruption. The Nicaraguan poet Rubén Daríowrote the poem "Momotombo" in its honor.
