The Laguna de Apoyo

On Sunday I went to visit the Laguna de Apoyo. This is a volcanic crater lake about 20 minutes outside of Granada. It has some of the cleanest waters for swimming in Nicaragua. First by bus you climb up to and then descent the steep, jungled volcanic walls. The water is a crystal blue color and delightfully refreshing. The 360 degree panorama of the ancient volcanic cone was quite enjoyable to look at when I was swimming, kayaking, or lying on the floating dock. When I wasn´t in the water, I spent the rest of the day reading and writing in a hammock. All in all, a very relaxing day trip.
