At the outskirts of the city, the volcano Mumbacho can be seen looming in the background. In the city itself, there is a heavy Spanish influence. Granada is a land of colorful buildings,
We also took a boat tour around the small islands in the area, which were created from chunks of rock thrown from Mumbacho. The islands are mostly occupied by vacation homes, but there was one island in particular that was inhabited by monkeys.
We spent today at Laguna de Apoyo, a volcanic lake that offers a sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of nearby Granada.
Week 1 has been amazing, and after a weekend like this, we are recharged and ready for more.
