Islets of Granada, Archipelago of 365 islands in Lake Nicaragua.
The islets spread across Lake Nicaragua feature diverse ecosystems with tropical vegetation, resident birds, and spider monkeys inhabiting specific areas.
The formation of these islands occurred when the Mombacho volcano ejected massive rocks during an ancient eruption thousands of years ago.
A community of 1200 inhabitants maintains traditional fishing practices while adapting to modern tourism development across numerous inhabited islets.
Visitors can explore the archipelago through boat tours departing from Granada's Tourist Center, with prices starting at 40 dollars per hour.
Each islet varies in size from 100 square meters to 100 hectares, featuring private residences, hotels, and untouched natural spaces.
