Granada, Nicaragua

Las Isletas (Little Islands) of Granada


For the first time on our trip, we rented a couple (very small) bikes for a bike and boat tour of the Islands and Peninsula of Granada in Lake Nicaragua.  We road the bikes from the center of town out to the lake and the boat dock.  We then boarded the boat with our bikes for a tour of the islands.  After the boat tour we were dropped off on the very end of the peninsula to bike back to the city center.  The 365 islands were formed 10,000 years ago when Volcano Mombacho exploded. The neighborhoods on these islands were once among the poorest in Granada (some still are), however, gradually more homes are hotels are being built.

Monkey Island!
