Las Isletas Lake Nicaragua
The Islets of Granada (Las Isletas de Granada Nicaragua) is a group of more than 350 small islands which are located in Lake Nicaragua, Most of these islands are populated. Some are privately owned and their owners have built vacation homes, tennis courts, pools and whatever their size permits them. The cost of some of these islets and their facilities could be well over a $1.000.000 dollars and more, considering construction materials for the building of these homes are transported by boat from the city of Granada, which raises cost significantly.

Lago de Nicaragua (El Cocibolca - Las Isletas)
El Cocibolca (voz nahuatl que quiere decir 'el mar dulce'), llamado Lago de Nicaragua, es un lago de agua dulce. Está ubicado en Nicaragua, Centroamérica. Su extensión es de 8.624 km².
Es el segundo lago de América Latina después del Lago Titicaca (de tamaño parecido) entre Bolivia y Perú.
Es el único lago del mundo que alberga tiburones de agua dulce.
El Río San Juan conecta el lago con el Mar Caribe, y el Río Tipitapa lo conecta con el Lago de Managua.
La ciudad de Granada y el volcán Mombacho se encuentra en la orilla del lago.
El lago tiene más de cuatrocientas isletas si se incluyen las Isletas de Granada y el Archipiélago de Solentiname, dos islas grandes que son la Isla de Zapatera y la Isla de Ometepe. En esta última se encuentran dos volcanes, uno de ellos activo, y que son el Volcán Maderas, un santuario de flora y fauna, y el Volcán Concepción
Lake Nicaragua or Cocibolca or Granada (Spanish: Lago de Nicaragua, Lago Cocibolca, Mar Dulce, Gran Lago, Gran Lago Dulce, or Lago de Granada) is a massive freshwater lake in Nicaragua of tectonic origin. With an area of 8,264 km², it is the largest lake in Central America, the 20th largest lake in the world and only slightly smaller than Lake Titicaca. With an elevation of 32 m (105 ft) above sea level, the lake reaches a depth of 26 m (84 ft). It is intermittently joined by the Tipitapa River to Lake Managua.
The lake is connected to the Caribbean Sea by the San Juan River, historically making the lakeside city of Granada, Nicaragua an Atlantic port although it is closer to the Pacific. The lake has a history of Caribbean pirates which assaulted nearby Granada on three occasions.[1]. Despite draining into the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean is near enough to be seen from the mountains of Ometepe.
Before construction of the Panama Canal, a stagecoach line owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt's Accessory Transit Company connected the lake with the Pacific across the low hills of the narrow Isthmus of Rivas. Plans were made to take advantage of this route to build an interoceanic canal, the Nicaragua Canal, but the Panama Canal was built instead. In order to quell competition with the Panama Canal, the U.S. secured all rights to a canal along this route in the Bryan-Chamorro Treaty of 1916. However, the idea of another canal in Nicaragua still periodically resurfaces. Ecocanal is one of these projects.

NICARAGUA: LAS ISLETAS
riprese di Marco Petruzzelli
The islets of Granada, are located in Lake Nicaragua, just southeast of the city of Granada in Nicaragua. The islets are a group of over 360 small islands and are scattered about the Asese peninsula. The 365 islets are of volcanic origin,[1] they were formed when the Mombacho volcano blew most of its cone into the lake over 20,000 years ago, thereby creating the archipelago. Most of islets are covered with unusual vegetation, and are rich with bird life.
Many of the islets are occupied. Some are privately owned and hold homes or vacation houses. There are facilities for the residents and for tourists. Hotels and shops are established on some of the islets, and boating tours are available.
Arcipelago formato da 365 piccole isole (una per ogni giorno dell'anno) di origine vulcanica situate nel lago Cocibolca a 3 Km dalla città di Granada. Tutte estremamente rigogliose e ricche di fauna e di flora, in special modo di uccelli acquatici.
Le isole sono visitabili con piccole lance che partono da porto Cesar posto sull'estremità sud del malecón di Granada. Con esse potrete percorrere gli stretti canali che separano le isole e ammirare una fortificazione che risale al secolo XIX che sorge sull'isola di San Pablo e una colonia di scimmie che abita un piccolo isolotto che, incuriosite dall'arrivo della lancia, si avvivinano alla riva.
Altra isola molto importante è l'isola di Zapatera, che è dichiarata parco nazionale ed è sede di uno dei più importati siti archeologici dove potrete vedere statue di roccia scolpite dagli abitanti precolombiani della zona e caverne con tombe. Altre luoghi di sepoltura si trovano sull'isola del morto.
Molte di queste isole sono private, alcune sono tutt'ora abitate da famiglie di pescatori. è possibile praticare pesca e sport acquatici.

Las Isletas Tour, Granada, Nicaragua
When the Mombacho Volcano erupted thousands of years ago, it threw huge rocks into Lake Nicaragua. As a result of this violent eruption 365 islets were formed in front of Granada. The islets differ in size between a hundred square meters and over one hundred hectares. The islets serve different purposes. There is a community of about 1200 people living on the islets. Most of the people living here are fishermen. Other islets accommodate hotels, bars, and restaurants or luxurious houses mostly owned by foreigners, who only stay for a few days of the year. There are islets containing spider, howler and white face monkeys plus uninhabited islets with only some palm trees growing on it. This was a $20 tour lasting approx four hours with a stop off at one of the islets bars where you could have a relaxing drink or go swimming in the lake. It was a beautiful day with a funny episode when one of the monkeys boarded the boat unexpectedly and wouldn't leave. It was particularly funny when another tour boat pulled in front of our boat trying to spot the monkeys not realising there was one behind them !!!
