Left the hills and mountains towards Nicaragua. The beauty of Costa Rica was easy to see on the journey down though the hills but not before an early morning bird and animal count
Some of the spectacular scenery
The Miravalles active volcano
At the border crossing into Nicaragua we said goodbye to Manuel and Rafa and hello to Minor.
Nicaragua a land of lakes and volcanoes. In fact it has 26 volcanoes many of which are active.
Our first stop was on the shores of Lake Nicaragua which is almost the same size as Lake Titicaca. From the shores can be seen the island of Ometepe made up of two volcanoes and a narrow strip of land between them.
We also visited Catarina and Laguna de Apoyo, a large volcanic lagoon. More than 200 meters deep and 6 km in diameter
Then onto our hotel Patio del Malinche in Granada which is a restored colonial house in the very pretty town of Granada.
Then into Granada for some dinner
