Top Things To Do

Nicaragua

• Make the most of several volcanic crater lagoons in the environs of Managua - centres of watersports with boating, fishing and picnicking facilities. Laguna de Xiloa is the most popular.

• Hire a boat on the shores of Lake Managua to visit the still-active Momotombo volcano and the shore villages. 

• Soar through the air on a canopy tour above Tiscapa Lagoon, where you can fly across the volcanic crater from platforms connected by zip lines.

Kayak around Ometepe Island on Lake Nicaragua. You have a good chance of spotting monkeys hanging from the trees.

Hike in the Mombacho Volcano Natural Reserve. You can see a wide variety of orchids in the cloud forest. Climbing the volcano itself leads to spectacular panoramic views.

• Take to the skies onboard a hot air balloon for the best aerial view of Nicaragua's volcanic craters.

Scramble along the rocks and swim in the clear waters of Somoto Canyon. This remarkable geological wonder only became known to the outside world in December 2004.

• Go surfing on the Pacific coast. Base yourself in the resort town of San Juan Del Sur for access to some of Nicaragua's finest waves.
