Lake of Nicaragua

Mini-islands tour pier, Nicaragua 1998

This little boat took my Mom, my aunt and myself on a tour around some of the Mini island (Isletas in Spanish), located on the Northwest shore of Lake of Nicaragua. The origin of the islands came from the Mombacho's volcano fiercest eruptions. Huge chunk of rocks were thrown in the air with such an awesome power that they ended several miles away from its source and into the lake. They formed more than 300 rock groups and over the years soil brought by the wind settled and after that vegetation started to flourish and you know the rest.
