Hiking, Rural Life, Landscapes, Flora and Fauna Observation Pre-Columbian Heritage Swimming
Departing early from the colonial city of Granada, we will take our boat transportation and start an interesting excursion through the natural volcanic islands, known as the “Isletas de Granada”.
Here we will be able to observe the bird life of the region, incredible landscapes, breathtaking views of Mombacho volcano and its lush surroundings.
Afterwards we will head southeast to Zapatera Island National Park regarded as the second largest island in the Great Lake of Nicaragua. Zapatera, of volcanic origin, is famous for its rich pre-Columbian history and archeological findings. The Island was probably the most important and sacred ceremonial site in all the Pacific Region, the exchange place of many Indian tribes traveling throughout Central and South America. In 1849 USA Diplomat Ephraim George Squire discovered an important collection of volcanic totems on the island, most of them located today at the San Francisco Museum in Granada.
Once we had enjoyed Zapatera Island landscapes and history, we will head to mainland and reach the farmers community of Charco Muerto, in here, we will have a delicious lunch in a local house with a local family. We will then hike up the hill of La Lomona which will reward us with astonishing views of Lake Nicaragua, Zapatera Archipelago,
Granada Isletas, Mombacho Volcano and more.
