Laguna de Apoyo near Granada, Nicaragua. Geological data suggests that Lake Apoyo originated about 23,000 years ago.
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.
