If you want to enjoy the best view on the Laguna de Apoyo, the lake inside a former volcano crater west of Granada, you’ll have to visit the Mirador de Caterina. It belongs to the city of Catarina in the Masaya region and sits on top of the mountain range surrounding the lagoon. As you can guess the Calle hacia El Mirador guides you to your destination and at the end there is a paid parking area and lots of seats on which you can enjoy sundown over the lake.
Especially on weekends this place is crowded and it feels like a folk festival with people walking around selling food and drinks. You’ll also find numerous stands that sell artisan goods and Catarina itself is also worth a visit with plants and artworks sold along the streets and many restaurants that offer local food specialties. If you’re still guessing while standing at the viewpoint: the city behind the crater on the opposite side of the lagoon is Granada.
