The Allure of Danger
What’s one way to make sure tourists are impressed by your national park? Imply their visit might be deadly.
That’s the implication of this photograph, taken in the parking lot of the Masaya Volcano. If you want to check out this amazing geological formation, you should be prepared to make a quick departure:
In all likelihood, the direction your car is facing isn’t really going to make a big difference in the event that the sleeping mountain wakes up. So is this painted sign a lie, or just good marketing? (And maybe someone wants to chime about the difference between the two?)
If the risk is real, visiting an active volcano might seem like a bad idea. But most people would probably be curious to check it out, proving once again that failure is the secret to success. And stretching the truth about the dangers of this trip in order to entertain tourists? Yet again, proof that failure is the secret to success.
Don’t be afraid to live a little dangerously. After all, maybe the warning signs are a little exaggerated.
Thanks to reader Brooke Randolph for the photograph.
