Packages- Guided trips to Granada,
Nicaragua
There is an unfounded prejudice
toward Nicaragua in the minds of
many people, especially North
Americans. Some believe it's
unsafe, some actually think
there's still a war going on.
Whatever the reason, it can work
to the advantage of adventurous
travelers.
The reality is that most of
Nicaragua is just as safe- if not
safer than- the touristed areas of
Costa Rica. Although very popular
with European backpackers,
Nicaragua is just beginning to
attract high end tourism, which,
for the traveler, means unspoiled
culture and great deals on lodging and dining.
The city of Granada offers something that Costa Rica doesn't have: block after
block of original, colonial architecture. The colors and textures of the ancient
buildings are unbelievably beautiful, especially at sunset, and walking the
cobblestone streets is like being transported to 18th century Spain.
Granada sits on the shore of Lake Nicaragua, which envelopes numerous islands
and islets, including Omotepe, the popular volcanic island.
A trip to the old Masaya Market is a must. The original artisan market offers
carved wood products, paintings, pottery, hammocks and a very interesting food
section (want to try iguana? Mmm... chicken of the tree).
