Volcano Mombacho is the largest in Nicaragua. Scientists are not sure if the volcano is dormant or active. We did see quite a few vents in the ground that smoke and smell of sulfur.
The top of the volcano is covered in cloud forest. On our nature walk, we got amazing views of Lake Nicaragua. In the picture below you can see the city of Granada and the Isletas (small islands). The Isletas were formed when large chunks of rock spewed from the volcano and landed in the lake.
The wildlife on the volcano was great. We saw several types of orchids and even a sloth.
