Nicaragua Excursions

Fire and water

Land of lakes and volcanoes, Nicaragua is a vibrant mosaic of contrasts and surprises. Every turn in the road reveals a completely new landscape; each face on the street seems to tell of a different ancestry.


MANAGUA & MASAYA Tour Old and New Managua. On the summit of Masaya Volcano, look down at the crater, 500 metres in diameter. A stop at the Volcano Interpretation Centre will provide fascinating information on the subject.	MASAYA MARKET In Masaya, you’ll find the largest arts and crafts market in the country with the greatest selection of souvenirs. Located on a street in the heart of Masaya, the birthplace of Nicaraguan folklore, this market overflows with pottery, hammocks and local handicrafts.

GRANADA & LAS ISLETAS Visit Granada, the oldest European-founded city on the American continent. Tourist attractions include the San Francisco Convent and its archaeological museum. In addition, you’ll discover an archipelago of 350 small volcanic islands on a wonderful boat tour.	MOMBACHO -CANOPY TOUR The natural reserve of Mombacho Volcano is a sanctuary for a wide variety of animal and plant species, including magnificent orchids. Then it’s time for an adventure on a zip line, an activity that will get your adrenaline flowing!

OMETEPE ISLAND Formed by two volcanoes in Lake Nicaragua and once an Indian burial ground, this eco-paradise boasts diverse flora and fauna. Enjoy swimming at the beach and in the crater’s lagoon, along with hiking and mountain biking or horseback riding on volcanic slopes.	APOYO LAGOON/MASAYA MARKET Visit an arts and crafts workshop and the Masaya Market. Afterwards, it’s off to Noromé, at the edge of Apoyo Lagoon (an ancient volcano), for lunch, sunbathing and aquatic activities.

LEÓN & HERVIDEROS León is the country’s second-largest city. You’ll visit the Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest in Central America, and the San Jacinto Hervideros, located 20 minutes from León, a series of small craters that reveal all the exciting underground volcanic activity.
