The day opens on Granada’s central plaza with light on the cathedral’s white façade and the thrum of scooters. Within an hour you’re at the water’s edge: the boat lazily parts the glassy surface of Lake Nicaragua and the Isletas—hundreds of palm-tufted islets—slide by like green punctuation marks. Monkeys chatter in mangroves, kingfishers flicker off rocks, and the captain points toward a small fort where brick and water meet.
