What is Lake Nicaragua famous for?
Lake Nicaragua is one of the wonders of the Western Hemisphere. One hundred miles long and as much as 46 miles wide, it is the largest freshwater lake in Central America, but it may millennia ago have been part of the sea. Freshwater sharks and tuna, and the extremely rare sawfish swim in these waters.
