Nicaragua
Join us on this newly added program, to visit
a place of beaches and volcanoes, islands and
ancient Nahuati history. Here we will sunbathe
in San Juan del Sur, be refreshed in the waterfall
of Ometepe Island and explore national heritage
in Granada.
We begin in San Juan del Sur, a place of beauty
and lush ocean living. This beautiful coastal town
will be our base for surfing lessons, snorkelling
and city explorations.
Next we hop over to Ometepe Island to
hike a volcano, swim in Ojo de Agua, and meet
some monkeys.
Once in the city of
Granada, we will learn
about colonial heritage and discover the finest
architecture in the country. Our trip also takes
us on a boat ride through the isletas de Granada,
where we will have a chance to view jaguars,
ocelots and sloths in their natural habitat.
