GRANADA

This is the most beautiful city in Nicaragua according to many and perhaps also the most beautiful in Central America, a charming colonial city and as soon as you land here you will fall in love with it at first sight.
The buildings and architecture in the city give it a unique look that you will not forget, those who come for two or three days stay for a week or two...
There are many attractions around the city and travelers with energy will find themselves passing from one thing to another, but even a walk in the city can be better than anything.
The forests around and the beautiful nature is something you should not miss, especially the Laguna de Apuyo - a lake located in the crater of a volcano. The surrounding cities are also interesting and you should visit Masaya.
