  6. Isletas de Granada

    The Islets of Granada are one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Nicaragua. They are located on Lake Nicaragua (Lago Cocibolca), near the city of Granada, and form an impressive archipelago with more than 360 small islands.

    These islands originated thousands of years ago when Mombacho Volcano erupted and large rocks were ejected into the lake, forming the small islands that are observed today. Currently, many of the islands are covered with tropical vegetation and some have private homes, hotels or restaurants.

    During the boat tour of the islands, visitors can enjoy scenery, abundant nature and bird watching, as well as learn about the history and culture of the region. It is also possible to see monkeys, tropical birds and local communities living around the lake.

    The Islets of Granada offer a quiet and picturesque experience, becoming one of the most visited and photographed destinations in Nicaragua.
