A clean, swimmable crater lake filling a 23,000-year-old volcanic caldera between Granada and Masaya. The warm, slightly thermal water and forested rim make it a favorite escape for kayaking, paddleboarding, and lazy lakeside afternoons. A handful of low-key lodges and hostels line the shore.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
