Nicaragua Holidays - Solentiname Archipelago

During this journey we explore the natural beauties and experience the quietness of Solentiname Archipelago, composed of 36 enchanted islands south east inside the great Lake Nicaragua. Solentiname has a rich past and is not only famous not for its wildlife, its primitivism art colony, its semi-revolutionary activities and the poet Ernesto Cardenal, but also for its unique nature and traditions. Hospitality, peaceful way of living, the painters' community, the wood carvers and the little ecological museum are the major attractions. Solentiname is still out of the beaten tracks.
