The colonial city of Granada was founded by Captain Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba in the year 1524. Located 27 miles from Managua it was built next to the Mombacho volcano and the great lake of Nicaragua; the biggest lake in Central America where you can find fresh water sharks. Named after the city of Granada in Spain, this city has plenty of colonial churches, narrow streets and large homes with beautiful indoor patios, tiled roofs and pretty colonial colors. This majestic city is a perfect gateway to enjoy all the bounties that Nicaragua offers, like nature, canopy, adventure, history, culture, kayaking, volcano climbing, shopping and much more. Due to the historical and cultural value of the city, it is in the process of being declared a heritage of mankind by UNESCO.
