A volcanic stone encrusted Basura (Spanish for Garbage) can was found on the top of Masaya Volcano next to the opening that was currently spewing carbon monoxide and sulfur.

High atop a volcano, and alongside the trail, an empty pack of cigarettes was found lying on the ground next to a bit of discarded electrical tape. Had someone used the tape to hold an emergency pack of smokes hidden?

Many plastic bottles had been discarded in a trash can at the start/end of the trail that looped around the volcano's rim. One coke bottle and many water bottles were present, one of which had been used as an ashtray.
