Lagos Nicaragua
On my way to Costa Rica I drive back to the main road which runs alongside Lagos Nicaragua, which is the largest lake in Central America and used to be part of the Pacific Ocean until some seismic event a long while back.
Over the last millenia or so this has resulted in evolutionary developments unique to the body of water, such as the fresh water sharks that live there.
I would love to be able to spend some time here but the road south is always calling me along this leg of my travels.
I do stop for a while on the shore though to check out the Isla de Ometepe which is located in the middle of the lake. It boasts the two volcanoes, Concepcion and Madira which you see here
