Managua Travel Guide |
Lake NicaraguaLake Nicaragua (sometimes referred to as Lake Cocibolca) is
Central America's largest lake and the 10th largest body of fresh
water in the world. A number of attractions set Lake Nicaragua
above other lakes around the world. Lake Nicaragua is one of the
only freshwater bodies of water with sharks. The Nicaragua Sharks,
or Bull Sharks inhabit the depths of the lake and are a rare sight
for the devoted tourist. Mombacho Volcano towers over this body of
water and the collection of small islands known locally as Las
Isletas scattered within the lake are believed to have been the
result of a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. The eruption
spewed massive rocks out into the lake, which later became 'Las
Isletas'. Visitors to Lake Nicaragua can hire a boat and tour the
islands while taking in the spectacular scenery and multitude of
bird and aquatic life. The lake is also home to the volcanic
Ometepe Island with its twin volcanic peaks. |
