Action and relaxation from coast to coast
After the long plane ride, it is blissful to relax at a luxury resort on one of the Pearl Cays in the Caribbean Sea. The tropical sun, white sand beaches and geniality of the Nicaraguans feel beneficial. If you want to go out there are numerous possibilities nice and close by. The trip to Pacific west coast of Nicaragua feels like a succession of excursions, varied ways to discover the land and nature from the water and road, from the air.
Granada, Masaya volcano and the beach at San Juan del Sur
Choose which way you want to explore the wetlands of Isletas de Granada. There is jungle-like vegetation, on and around the water live an extraordinary number of bird species. Will you go hiking or boating, or opt for a spa treatment and then simply enjoy these beautiful surroundings from your terrace? Exchange the tranquility of the island for the vibrancy of Granada, a city with a beautiful center full of old-colonial architecture. In the city there is music and the sound of horses' hooves on street cobblestones, in the market vendors praising their wares in loud voices. What a contrast to the quiet landscape around the active Masaya volcano, but the roaring voice of churning magma can be heard from the crater rim. The trip ends by the sea at the fishing town of San Juan del Sur. You have experienced a fascinating and varied cross-section of Nicaragua, now may all those impressions descend. Or are you trekking out once again? There is so much to experience in this beautiful country! Where the world can't find you...
