Travel Guide

If your looking for something to do to cool off in Nicaragua's heat, head to Laguna de Apoyo just outside Managua. Resorts line the rim of this volcanic Crater Lake and you can sit by the lakeside enjoying piña colodas. Swimming here is great though there's not much in the way of beaches. Spend the day or stay over night and be prepared to chill.
Beautiful Laguna de Apoyo. If you've ever wanted to go swimming in the crater lake of an extinct volcano, go here! Such a stunning place and very close to Managua.
