One of the most visited places in Nicaragua for years is, of course, the Mombacho Volcano, located only 15 minutes outside the city of Granada. Discovered early by tourists, part of this majestic formation that dominates ground-level views for miles around is a splendid nature reserve. The areas surrounding the reserve have recently been discovered by developers, investors, and retirees as well.
Fresh air, a cool climate, nice breezes, a magnificent view, and its proximity to Granada makes this place a new destination for foreign investment or settling down.
Mombacho in the former indigenous language means “Hill of the Inclined Walls.” It is 1345 meters high and has a cloud forest above the 800-meter line. Close to the top, you can find the Volcan Mombacho Natural Reserve.
