For those visitors short on time, this is the perfect treat. Taste of Nicaragua takes you to the country's most significant colonial cities, active volcanoes and to some of Lake Nicaragua's most beautiful islands.

It includes up close and personal visits to the bubbling, exposed volcanic vein of the active Telica Volcano and the smoking crater of the Masaya Volcano where you will witness the stirrings of the earth's inner soul. We will also go to the country's largest crater lake, the deep blue Laguna de Apoyo and Central America's grandest body of fresh water, Lake Nicaragua, where you'll have a private boat tour of the 354 island archipelago called Las Isletas.
