Activity itinerary

Granada
  • 2h
Granada is one of the oldest and most iconic colonial cities in Latin America, founded in 1524 on the shores of the Great Lake of Nicaragua. On this tour, travelers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in its history, architecture, and cultural life. We will visit the impressive Granada Cathedral, with its distinctive red dome and neoclassical façade, located in front of the central park. From there, we’ll walk along cobblestone streets lined with colorful houses and historic buildings until we reach La Calzada, one of the city’s most vibrant avenues, filled with restaurants, art, and live music. We’ll also explore 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 perfect for photos, a lively atmosphere, and experiencing the essence of colonial Nicaragua.
Isletas de Granada
  • 1h
From the historic Granada Port, you’ll begin a boat ride on the majestic Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America. During the journey, you’ll navigate among the famous islets — small volcanic formations covered with lush vegetation, home to birds, monkeys, and in some cases, local families living in lakeside houses. This ride offers a peaceful and picturesque experience, perfect for taking photos, observing nature, and learning about the history of the lake and its 300+ islets. You’ll also make a brief scenic stop at San Pablo Port, where you can enjoy stunning views of the lake and the Mombacho Volcano.
Mercado de Artesanias de Masaya
  • 45m
You’ll visit Masaya’s most iconic market, known for its vibrant and cultural atmosphere. Here, travelers can admire and purchase a wide variety 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
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
You’ll end the tour with a stop at the famous Catarina Viewpoint, one of Nicaragua’s most breathtaking spots. From this elevated point, you 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 vistas 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 enrich the experience.
Masaya Volcano
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Masaya Volcano Discover one of the most impressive places in Nicaragua: Masaya Volcano, located just 20 km from Managua. This active volcano is located within the country’s first National Park and is famous because it allows you to drive to the edge of the main crater, Santiago.
