Las Isletas

Las Isletas are a collection of over 350 little islands that are in Lago Nicaragua ( Lake Nicaragua). The islands were made when Mombacho ( a currently inactive volcano) was more active and literally blew its top - right into the lake. This lake is close to the city of Granada and it is the only fresh water lake in the world with sharks. These freshwater sharks are either pink or white... I am not sure but I have heard that they can be very fierce. One island is inhabited by monkeys ( Spider, and White Faced). The crazy thing is that you can own an little island if you so desire and build the house of your dreams. Starting at around a couple million dollars ( or so the boat operator said). Some of the wealthiest families in and out of Nicaragua, have houses there. While I was in Grenada I took a boat tour and had lunch at a restaurant that was Nicaraguan owned. It was all very cool.
