Travel Guide

Apoyo Lagoon rests in the crater of an extinct volcano.  At the lookout point there are many shops/vendors and places to eat and a restroom (for a price).  It's very windy and much cooler up there so bring layers!  This is a must see when in Nicaragua!

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.
Laguna de Apoyo, a giant carter lake that formed after a volcano imploded on itself. You can see smoking Mombacho Volcano in the background.
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.
