We had a few days spare so decided to check out The Monkey Hut situated on Lake Apoyo. We’d heard endless fab things from fellow travelers and just couldn’t bear to miss out on this idyllic chill out spot.
Lago de Apoyo is more or less evenly situated 30 minutes from either Managua or Granada. If I remember correctly it’s not too difficult to get to, however it’s better if you arrive with a group to share the taxi from where the bus drops you off. The crater was formed after a volcanic explosion 23000 years ago and reaches depths of 175m. We spent our few days here drinking caprihinas, eating home-made pizza, sunbathing and dive-bombing off the floating jetty. The caprihinas also helped us contemplate and appreciate the amazing feats that nature is capable of.
Furthermore, Lago de Apoyo formulated mine and Lisa’s new found friendship. There’s nothing like turning up to a new place after only knowing each other for a day and there only being a double room left. We laughed for about an hour after asking the owners “Do you have a pet…that’s a monkey?” (you had to be there), and the rest, as they say, is history!
