Lakes & Volcanoes | Nicaragua

With its vast lakes and smouldering volcanoes, Nicaragua is a land of astounding natural beauty. On a small group holiday to Nicaragua, feel as though you’ve stepped back in time as you explore tropical volcanic islands, pristine coastline and the oldest city in Central America.

Begin in Granada. Perched on the shores of Lake Nicaragua, under the shadow of Mombacho volcano, this beguiling colonial city has a turbulent history of piracy. Stroll along cobblestone streets  colourful churches, leafy plazas and bustling markets. From your grand historic hotel, venture out to a 23,000 year-old lagoon, verdant islets home to myriad bird species and a volcano crater bubbling with molten lava.

Continue to Ometepe Island, where thick jungles and fertile plantations are watched over by twin volcanoes, Concepción and Maderas. Zoom across the lush landscapes on quad bikes, trek up a volcano to misty cloud forest and spot caiman on a sunset kayak tour. From your comfortable eco lodge, look out for troops of howler monkeys and mischievous white-faced capuchins in the treetops.

Finally, unwind at the ecological paradise of Morgan’s Rock. This traditional working ranch on Nicaragua’s glorious Pacific coast offers excellent surfing, water sports and activities that champion sustainable farming. Before heading home, you’ll enjoy a farewell beach barbecue in a secluded bay.
