  2. Granada - Laguna de Apoyo

    Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 28 November 2009

    Whilst in Granada you can take a popular day trip to Laguna de Apoyo. Here, at some point in the past, a volcano blew its top leaving behind a huge crater that has filled with fresh water. And the bonus is the lake has a sulphur content that keeps away mosquitoes. Don't worry, it doesn't smell!

    After deciding it had been much too long since we had left the country, we settled on a brief weekend trip to Nicaragua.
