Just 10km south of Granada lies the Mombacho Volcano. The volcano is 1,344 metres high and is placed in Lake Nicaragua. Over thousands of years ago, it blew most of its cone into the lake, which created a group of 365 small volcanic islands called the Islets of Granada. Most of the islets are rich with bird life, and this made me want to visit on a guided boating tour.
