On Sunday we took a couple tours to see some local sights. First up was Volcàn Mombacho just outside the city of Granada. We had been planning to go to Volcàn Masaya which is supposed to have a great view, but was closed due to some recent activity. When we got to the top of Mombacho, it was unfortunately overcast so we couldn’t see the crater, but did get to check out a lot of the forest surrounding the rim. I was told I saw a sloth as well, but it was curled up in a tree, and looked more like a slow moving ball of fur (very sloth-like). The second trip we took was to Las Isletas. Las Isletas were formed from an eruption from Mombacho which created a total of 365 micro islands. We had a rad tour guide, who showed us around and brought us to my favorite island, Monkey Island – a super small plot that had about five different monkeys you could feed. We shared some crackers and a lollipop and it was good.

The internet is super spotty to say the least on Corn Island, so here’s a quick recap of a few things spotted while we were there. The island is extremely small – I think we were able to bike from one side to the other in about 25 mins or so, but it’s overwhelmed by natural beauty. We spent most of our days, biking, snorkeling, swimming and grabbing cheap drinks near the water. There’s not a ton to do there, but enjoy what’s in front of you.
