Top Granada Walking Tours

Tour colonial Granada to discover the first city of the New World, founded by Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba in 1524, and now one of the greatest attractions in Nicaragua. This excursion will introduce you to all the most important monuments, as well as give you a flavor of the local life. Following a pick-up from your hotel, start with a stroll around the main streets of the historic center, learning how the city survived pirates, fire, and filibusters. Constructed by the Spanish as a model city, Granada gave the settlers a chance to showcase their glorious architecture, much of it now restored to its former glory. Admire stunning architecture, such as the Convento San Francisco, the oldest church in Central America. Climb the steps of the Fortaleza La Polvora for panoramic views of the Mombacho Volcano. Then, enjoy a horse carriage ride to some of the most scenic spots outside the city center.

Discover the islets of Granada, located in Lake Nicaragua, just southeast of the city of Granada, on this half-day boat tour. Formed by a volcano, most of the islets are covered with vegetation and are rich with birdlife. Following the boat ride, enjoy a guided sightseeing tour of the city where you’ll see landmarks like La Pólvora Fortress, Parque Colon de Granada, and historical churches.

Experience the Tenorio Volcano National Park on this all-day hiking tour.

What our guests like the most at Zopango: 7000 sq.meters of luxuriousness!! Its calm waters, its beach, its sundeck, its numerous hamocks and intimate corners for more privacy.

Zopango Island is 100% off the grid thanks to its solar panels installation (no ugly electric lines! no power plant noise!) and its drinkable water obtained by a professional 3 steps filtration and purification system.
