Our Suggestions
San Juan Del Sur is a surfer's paradise and don't miss Sunday Funday with PachaMama and Naked Tiger.... It's insane!!
Leon's Museums, Architecture, and Catholic Cathedrals. Also there's a great street food setup in the evenings in front of the Main Square Catholic Church
The police are crooked and will try to take you for some money. If they do, the fees paid are generally under 20 dollars US for most offenses.
The street food in Managua is great! On the "Blvd" you can find every type of food truck/stand you would want and it's CHEAP!
Go to Ometepe for a chilled out hippie-vibe and beautiful volcanic/jungle surroundings. You can even ferry your car over.
Nicaraguan Rodeo in San Juan Del Sur. It's probably one of the strangest experiences we've had.
Go to Nicaragua now. In 15 years it will be expensive and over-run by tourists like Costa Rica. Everyone says Nica is Costa Rica 20 years ago.
We hear the Little Corn Islands, albeit remote, has some incredible scuba diving and Caribbean beauty. We haven't been.... YET.
