Despite its small size, Nicaragua has a lot to offer travelers, and it’s impossible to see it all. An excellent home base for exploring the country is Grenada, a historic city on the northern shore of Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America. In the southern part of the lake, Isla Ometepe is a beautiful volcanic island covered in jungle where you can kayak, hike, bird watch, or simply relax in a hammock and enjoy nature. Just a few hours away on the Pacific Coast, San Juan del Sur is a perfect place to swim in the Pacific Ocean, surf, or check out the nearby sea turtle reserve.
