Nicaragua has two main colonial cities and today, you will dive into the rich history and architecture of Granada with a guided walking tour through its cobblestone streets, colonial churches, and colorful markets. Learn about its Spanish roots, revolutionary past, and modern-day charm. In the afternoon, trade the city buzz for serenity with a guided kayak tour through the Isletas de Granada—a lush archipelago formed by ancient volcanic activity. Paddle through calm waters, spotting birds and island life as the sun sets over Lake Nicaragua.
Day 3. Pottery Workshop + Catarina Lookout + Apoyo Lagoon
This day blends culture, nature, and relaxation. Begin with a hands-on pottery workshop in San Juan de Oriente, a village famous for its artisan ceramics. Meet a local master potter and try your hand at traditional techniques. Then, visit Catarina Lookout, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of Apoyo Lagoon, Mombacho Volcano, and the lake beyond. End the day with a relaxing swim or lounge session at the lagoon’s edge, soaking in the natural beauty of this volcanic crater lake.
Day 4. Transfer to San Jorge + Ferry to Ometepe Island
After breakfast, travel south to San Jorge Port, where you’ll catch a ferry across Lake Nicaragua to the magical island of Ometepe. Formed by twin volcanoes, the island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its biodiversity and laid-back atmosphere. Upon arrival, enjoy a scenic drive along the coast before checking in to your hotel near the Charco Verde Reserve. Spend the afternoon unwinding and taking in the tranquil surroundings.
Day 5. Ojo de Agua Reserve
Start your day with a visit to one of Ometepe’s most beloved spots—Ojo de Agua, a natural spring fed by volcanic waters. Surrounded by lush forest, the pools are perfect for a refreshing swim or simply relaxing in a tropical setting. Take your time here—order a smoothie at the café, stroll through the gardens, or lay back in a hammock. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure on the island.
Day 6. Ferry to San Jorge + Transfer to León
This morning, wave goodbye to Ometepe as you board the ferry back to the mainland. From San Jorge, enjoy a scenic drive north through Nicaragua’s heartland to the historic city of León. Along the way, observe rural life, distant volcanoes, and fertile farmlands. Once in León, check in to your hotel and spend the evening at your own pace—perhaps exploring the lively main square or enjoying local cuisine at a nearby café.
Day 7. León City Tour + Mangrove Kayak Tour
Begin your day with a guided city tour of León, Nicaragua’s cultural and intellectual capital. Explore the stunning León Cathedral, revolutionary murals, and hidden gems that tell the story of Nicaragua’s complex past.
