The Islets of Granada are a collection of over 300 small islands formed by volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. Scattered across Lake Nicaragua, these lush islets are home to diverse bird species, monkeys, and other wildlife. Boat tours navigate the narrow channels, offering close-up views of island mansions, local fishing villages, and the Mombacho Volcano backdrop. It's a peaceful escape from the city, perfect for nature lovers and photographers.

  • Spot howler monkeys and tropical birds like toucans and herons along the shorelines.
  • Cruise past the exclusive island homes of wealthy Nicaraguans and expats.
