- Granada - Granada stands as one of the oldest and most renowned colonial cities in Latin America, established in 1524 along the shores of the Great Lake of Nicaragua. This tour offers travelers a chance to delve into its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural life.
Participants will visit the magnificent Granada Cathedral, notable for its striking red dome and neoclassical façade, situated opposite the central park. From there, the tour continues along cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses and historic buildings, leading to La Calzada, one of the city’s most lively avenues, bustling with restaurants, art, and live music.
The tour also includes visits to other colonial churches such as La Merced or Xalteva, depending on the group’s pace, while uncovering the historical events that have shaped the city from the colonial period to the resistance against pirate invasions.
Granada is ideal for photography, a vibrant atmosphere, and experiencing the essence of colonial Nicaragua.
- Isletas de Granada - Starting from the historic Granada Port, travelers embark on a boat ride across the majestic Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America. This journey navigates through the renowned islets — small volcanic formations adorned with lush vegetation, home to birds, monkeys, and occasionally, local families residing in lakeside homes.
This ride provides a serene and picturesque experience, perfect for photography, nature observation, and learning about the lake’s history and its over 300 islets. A brief scenic stop at San Pablo Port offers stunning views of the lake and the Mombacho Volcano.
- Mercado de Artesanias de Masaya - Visitors will explore Masaya’s most iconic market, celebrated for its vibrant and cultural ambiance. Here, travelers can admire and purchase a diverse array of traditional Nicaraguan handicrafts: folkloric masks, embroidered textiles, hammocks, ceramics, leather goods, carved wood, and handmade souvenirs. It’s an ideal spot to connect with the local culture.
- Mirador de Catarina - The tour concludes with a visit to the renowned Catarina Viewpoint, one of Nicaragua’s most breathtaking locations. From this elevated vantage point, visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of Apoyo Lagoon, an ancient volcanic crater filled with crystal-clear water, surrounded by lush vegetation and small rural communities.
The viewpoint also offers panoramic views of Lake Nicaragua and, on clear days, the impressive Mombacho Volcano. It’s the perfect place to relax, take photos, enjoy the fresh breeze, and appreciate the country’s natural beauty from above.
Additionally, the surrounding area features stalls selling flowers, handicrafts, and traditional foods that enhance the experience.
