Laguna del Apoyo

This lake used to be a volcanic crater that filled up with water 3000 years ago. After the heat of León and Granada, it was like heaven staying there for two days. Aside from swimming, every guest of the hostel there can use their kayaks, paddle boards, tubes and other sports equipment for free.
There are also a lot of locals that pay a little fee to spent a day at the hostel beach without sleeping there. Yesterday evening, a group of people from Bluefield (in the Nicaraguan Caribbean) invited me to drink some Champaign with them (ok, to be honest the drinks were probably paid by the American who was with them). Today, I spent most of the time with a group of people from the capital Managua and their Guatemalan friend.
Probably it was for the best that because of Easter all other nights this week the hostel was fully booked, because this lagoon is definitely one of the places you could get stuck at for a very long time.Leia mais
