ITINERARY IN DETAIL

Whilst staying in Granada you will have two immersive day tours which offer a perfect blend of nature, culture, and adventure.

From crafting your own organic chocolate and meeting local artisans in the Pueblos Blancos, to relaxing by Apoyo Lagoon and witnessing the molten lava of Masaya Volcano, you’ll also explore the lush cloud forest of Mombacho by foot and soar through the treetops on an exhilarating zipline canopy tour.

Enjoy a three-night stay at Guacimo Lodge in San Carlos where nature, history, and culture come together in the heart of the jungle. You will hike through the towering trees of Indio Maíz Reserve, spotting howler monkeys, turtles, and exotic birds.

Paddle by kayak along the San Juan and Bartola Rivers, observing rich wildlife and local river life.

Step back in time at El Castillo’s 17th-century fortress and library, followed by a fascinating conversation with a legendary river navigator and after dark, head out on a peaceful night boat tour to spot nocturnal creatures like owls, caimans, and basilisk lizards.

Enjoy four nights at Morgan’s Rock, a stunning eco-lodge on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast where nature and adventure go hand in hand. Each day includes one guided on-site activity, with plenty more to explore at your own pace. Visit the working organic farm to milk cows, gather eggs, and make tortillas before enjoying a traditional breakfast.

Join a reforestation effort by planting trees that support local wildlife, or hike scenic trails like the challenging Pluma route or the relaxed Sunset Hill walk for breathtaking ocean views. With 4,000 acres of private reserve, rich wildlife, and immersive farm-to-table experiences, there’s no shortage of things to see and do.
