"Granada was here"
... the crater which houses the natural lake. The shimmering laguna looked clear and was declared a natural reserve in 1991. We had heard that it was a pretty chilled out place and perfect for swimming in the natural waters, kayaking, hiking and Murray wanted to check out the diving. So we checked into the Monkey Hut which was an a large wooden a-frame hostel on the river bank. Tiered green lawns led down to the lake where kids where jumping off the pier and swimming ...
Granada: A city between volcanoes

I asked about swimming in the lake and Bosco said sure, so we headed off for the 20 minute ride down into the crater to the lake shore where Laurel, Amy and myself took a dip. The lake is 655 feet deep and the water was cool and refreshing. There was a small restaurant for lunch or drinks and it seemed to be a place that ...
