San Juan de Oriente Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Apoyo Lagoon rests in the crater of an extinct volcano. At the lookout point there are many shops/vendors and places to eat and a restroom (for a price). It's very windy and much cooler up there so bring layers! This is a must see when in Nicaragua!

This is Laguna de Apoyo. I think it's an extinct volcano. 12/25/2015
One of the most peaceful hostels I've even had the pleasure of staying at AND they let us camp in our rig. #adventure #overlanding #panamerican #hostels

This hotel is changing management it seems (Feb 2026) so things like restaurant, beach equipment etc aren’t ready. But the setup is very pretty!

If your looking for something to do to cool off in Nicaragua's heat, head to Laguna de Apoyo just outside Managua. Resorts line the rim of this volcanic Crater Lake and you can sit by the lakeside enjoying piña colodas. Swimming here is great though there's not much in the way of beaches. Spend the day or stay over night and be prepared to chill.
