    We had set this up through our hotel. The cost was very inexpensive. There are 365 islands that were created from an explosion from a volcano. I see there are some negative comments. We had nice views, we also got to go on two of the islands. One we ate at a restaurant, another one we got the see some different flowers that we have never seen before. There are some birds, but you won't see much wildlife. There are two monkey islands, If you are going to one...one bag of mangos will suffice. We ended up giving our bags away as the monkeys weren't that hungry. I listed this a "very good" that may depend on what you are looking for. We wanted a nice boat ride and eat on an island. We got that experience and saw some extras.

    An amazing experience.
    I got lucky and b/c it was low season and a weekday I got my own guide for the Puma trail. First things first - when you hear you are driven up in a truck to get to the start of the hike you might be inclined to push back and say you want to start your hike from the entrance of the park. Don't do this on your first time unless you plan to do the easier or mid range trail.
    The Puma trail is AMAZING. Sadly it was cloudy so I didn't get killer views (often it was just white) but the first half is through the gorgeous green, rain forest area and I was really entranced by the dead forest and thought it was so unique.
    I'm in good shape, hike regularly and the steepness of the trail was tiring and strenuous but not impossible. Took about 2.5 hours but it will take longer if you're with a group.
    Luis was my certified guide and he was wonderful. So knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and the ecosystem and passionate about conservation.
    Really enjoyed my time here and the staff and locals are friendly

    This place was very nice. They do offer a bell tower for a small rate. The Hotel Real Merced is right across the street. When we were there, it was Ash Wednesday and it was cool to hear the service going on and see all the people. The History of the buildings in Nicaragua and especially in Granada with the cathedarals are really cool.

    We were 4 adults who each paid $25 US for a 90 minute workshop. The guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed this learning experience. However, another person first sat close to our group to listen, then decided to join the activities, without paying, and our guide never said anything! On the contrary, he started to include the intruder in all activities, and all tastings. I felt it quite unfair. Charge us less if you are going to let others join free.

    We found the magicians lounge by mistake, simply staying nearby . Curiosity had us searching the internet for them and booking tickets to a show. Easily the highlight of out Granada trip. Good people, good drinks and excellent time.

    There are a lot of neat structures in Granada. This is one of the nicer ones. A trip up the Bell Tower is a must. There is a small charge to walk up.

    This is one of the Catholic Churches that I visited in Granada on my first day in this city. It was the only one where I was required to wear a mask and my hands were sprayed with disenfectant.

    What also distinguishes it from the other churches is the image of our Lady of Guadalupe at the upper part of the front facade. I said my prayers and took some pictures here.

    I briefly rested here during my walk around Granada. Taking photos of my surroundings, I noted the cathedral near by, statues, vendors selling their wares, horses and their carriages, colonial buildings, Christmas decorations, etc. I enjoyed my rest here.

    Good info (some in English) on the history of the peoples and cultures of this area, and when I was there, a very interesting small exhibit of contemporary art at the back.

    During the day, there is not much to do here. It is a main thoroughfare from the city center to the Malecon or the area near the lake. In the evening, there are restaurans and other establishments open for business here. Have fun!

    This museum lays out the entire early history of the San Francisco Convent as well as Nicaragua & Granada. It is good for older children, but not your children.

    A lovely place to visit in the morning. It is a non commercial project. Most important is that the butterflies get good possibilities to survive, not to show tourists around. Still this kind of project costs so just visit the place so it can survive!
