Granada is Nicaragua’s most famous destination, mostly for the beauty of its spacious and brightly painted Andalusian-styled Spanish colonial homes. The historic centre is full of large square homes with lush interior gardens protected by thick adobe walls. Located on the western shores of Lake Nicaragua, the city was sacked numerous times by pirates during Spanish rule, as Granada was effectively the westernmost Caribbean port thanks to boat traffic across the lake and the San Juan River, making it a key commercial centre. Today, tourism runs the economy and Granada is blessed with numerous good restaurants and boutique hotels, and is a great base from which to explore a number of nearby attractions, including the Isletas Archipelago, Mombacho and Masaya Volcanoes, Apoyo Crater Lake and Los Pueblos Blancos.
Best experiences
Take a tour to Mombacho Volcano
With a private guide you can decide on various trails to be hiked on Mombacho Volcano for superb flora and fauna and views of Lake Nicaragua, Las Isletas and Granada. This can also be combined with a coffee tour and zip-line and/or lunch on the volcano.
Kayak around Las Isletas Archipelago
Kayaking in Lake Nicaragua with our local guide is the perfect way to experience the tranquillity and rich bird life of the archipelago. Islanders travel in row boats, so kayaking is also a sociable and sustainable way to experience community life.
