Las Isletas de Granada are over 360 small islands off the coast of Granada in Lake Nicaragua. These islands were originally boulders that landed in the lake as a result of an ancient eruption of nearby Volcán Mombacho. Some of these islands are owned by private-home owners and feature elaborate mansions, others are home to ancient petroglyphs, and at least one is a small fortress built by the Spanish conquistadors.
Travelers can book island tours by boat, paddle board, or kayak, where they can see spectacular birdlife and lush tropical vegetation on Central America’s largest lake. For those interested in exploring the islands’ ancient archaeological sites, and petroglyphs, we recommend visiting Lake Nicaragua’s largest Island, Zapatera. Zapatera boasts a rich pre-columbian history and visitors can catch up on local folklore and secrets while they explore.
