Lake Nicaragua
No swimming is allowed inside.
Watching the large and small turtle group climbing on the reef to bask in the sun is a lake scene. The shore of Lake Nicaragua is lined with trees and dotted with many red-top pavilions. The lake is blue, the lake is breezy, the water birds fly, and the fish jump out of the water from time to time. The blue sky, white clouds, water light and lake color constitute a charming scenery. At the beginning of the 21st century, the beautiful Lake Nicaragua has become one of the two famous landscapes in Nicaragua alongside the Masaya Volcano.

Great Wall of Nicaragua
Located 150 kilometers west of Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, it was originally a boundary monument of the land between Indian tribes, but also has a certain defensive function, with a total length of 40 kilometers.
