Laguna de Apoyo

Day 5,6,7:
"Laguna de Apoyo is a clean, blue, and thermally vented 48-square kilometer body of water contained inside the crater of the Apoyo Volcano (think big warm clean lake!).Laguna de Apoyo is one of Nicargua’s most beautiful natural wonders and for anyone traveling through Nicaragua it should not be missed.

There are many Lagunas throughout the country, but none equal this one as it is still clean enough to swim in and very close to other major cities in Nicaragua. It is a great place to rest, relax, swim, kayak and recharge after some hard traveling, or to just spend a day lounging in the water and sun."

The accommodation here were Sparta, but quite adequate for the beautiful surroundings. Good food, no hot water. But this was not a problem when most of the group bathed in the laguna. Coolest thing.... was were staying inside an actual old volcano.
