- Granada - Founded in 1524 on the shores of the Great Lake of Nicaragua, Granada is one of the oldest and most iconic colonial cities in Latin America. This tour offers travelers the chance to delve into its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural life.
Visitors will explore the magnificent Granada Cathedral, known for its striking red dome and neoclassical façade, situated in front of the central park. From there, the tour continues along cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses and historic buildings, leading to La Calzada, a lively avenue brimming 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 learning about the historical events that shaped the city from the colonial era to the resistance against pirate invasions.
Granada is ideal for photography, a lively atmosphere, and experiencing the essence of colonial Nicaragua.
- Isletas de Granada - Starting from the historic Granada Port, embark on a boat ride across the majestic Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America. This journey takes you through the famous islets—small volcanic formations lush with vegetation, home to birds, monkeys, and sometimes local families residing in lakeside houses.
This ride provides a serene and picturesque experience, perfect for photography, nature observation, and learning about the lake’s history and its 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 - Visit Masaya’s most iconic market, celebrated for its vibrant and cultural atmosphere. Here, travelers can admire and purchase a wide array of traditional Nicaraguan handicrafts: folkloric masks, embroidered textiles, hammocks, ceramics, leather goods, carved wood, and handmade souvenirs. It’s an ideal place to connect with the local culture.
- Mirador de Catarina - Conclude the tour with a visit to the renowned Catarina Viewpoint, one of Nicaragua’s most breathtaking locations. From this elevated spot, 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.
- Masaya Volcano - Discover one of Nicaragua’s most remarkable sites: Masaya Volcano, located just 20 km from Managua. This active volcano is part of the country’s first National Park and is renowned for allowing visitors to drive to the edge of the main crater, Santiago.
