Tourism had become the second
largest industry in Nicaragua. Eco-tourism aims to be ecologically and socially
conscious; it focuses on local culture, wilderness, and adventure.
Nicaragua's
eco-tourism is growing with every passing year, it boasts a number of
eco-tourist tours and perfect places for adventurers. Nicaragua has three
eco-regions, the Pacific, Central and Atlantic that contain volcanoes, tropical
rainforest and agricultural land. The majority of the ecolodges and other environmentally
focused touristic destinations are found on Ometepe Island, found in the middle
of Lake Nicaragua just an hour boat ride from Granada. While some are
foreign-owned, such as the tropical permaculture lodge at Finca El Zopilote,
others are owned by local families, like the small but well-acclaimed Finca
Samaria.
Most recently sand skiing has
become a popular attraction at the Cerro Negro volcano in León. Both dormant
and active volcanoes can be climbed. Some of the most visited volcanoes include
the Masaya Volcano, Momotombo, Mombacho, Cosigüina and Ometepe's Maderas and
Concepción.
Nicaragua is referred to as
"the land of lakes and volcanoes" due to the number of lagoons and
lakes, and the chain of volcanoes that runs from the north to the south along
the country's Pacific side. Today, only 7 of the 50 volcanoes in Nicaragua are
considered active. Many of these volcanoes offer some great possibilities for
tourists with activities such as hiking, climbing, camping, and swimming in crater
lakes.
The Apoyo Lagoon Natural Reserve
was created by the eruption of the Apoyo Volcano about 23,000 years ago, which
left a huge 7 km-wide crater that gradually filled with water. It is surrounded
by the old crater wall. The rim of the lagoon is lined with restaurants, many
of which have kayaks available. Besides exploring the forest around it, many
water sports are practiced in the lagoon, most notably kayaking.
