Granada Excursions

Around Granada there are lots of things to see and do. We visited the white towns (pueblos blancos) including San Juan de Oriente where we bought some pottery; Apoyo, the crater lake; Mombacho, an inactive volcano visible from the town; Las Isleta, a group of 350 small islands that were formed when Mombacho erupted 10,000 years ago; and coffee plantations.

Hiking on Mombacho, the clouds cleared long enough to get this picture of Las Isletas.
