VISIT NICARAGUA

 

Trip Itinerary

We started the day with delicious breakfast in the town of Guardia in Guanacaste, Costa Rica and then we head for the border. At the border the team will expedite the passport stamping process. Meanwhile you have time to check out the duty free shops where you will find electronic items, clothing, liquor and other duty free products.

As we just starting entering Nicaragua we make a short stop at the edge of the Great Lake of Nicaragua where you can take beautiful photographs of the world's largest island in a freshwater lake, the island of Ometepe. We continue our journey towards the city of Granada where we will visit a cigar maker and the church of La Merced and you can climb the tower where you will have a panoramic view of the city. We will meander through the city center where you can see the different , and very old colonial style buildings.

Our journey continues to the shore of Lake Nicaragua. There are over 30 islands scattered offshore. We’ll take a boat to tour some of these beautiful islands. After the island tour, we continue to the majestic crater of the Masaya volcano. This volcano is fully active and there are gases emanating from the crater to form an impressive cloud in the sky and when it is clear you can see the fire in the centre of the crater.

We then head down to the city of Masaya, where we enjoy a hearty lunch and then visit the craft market in the city before we head back to Costa Rica.
