    Managua, Managua, Nicaragua (Arrival transfer)

    Included Activities

    • Brief city tour of Managua
    • Transfer to León
    Landmarks/POIs

  2. Day 2

    León

    After breakfast at the hotel, you'll walk through León's colonial streets and check out the historic churches that define the city's character. Head up to the cathedral rooftop and you get really nice panoramic views from up there. León's known as Nicaragua's intellectual and cultural center, so there's quite a bit to see in the architecture and layout.

    Nicaragua was the last country in central America we visited. This is a country of lakes and volcanoes. The weather was perfect in February for a visit of the mix of history and scenery. To extend the tour we also visited Managua and Leon by our own. Our hotel at San Juan del Sur is located in a very touristic area and it was very noisy during the weekends. It's better to avoid to stay in this area during the weekends if one is bothered by music noises.

    We had a fantastic time on this tour, which was just the two of us and our guide and driver. The guide, Esmerelda, was very friendly and knowledgeable and, when I asked a fairly obscure question about the Mayans and their toilets, reached out to someone else to get the answer, and then made sure that we went to the relevant place in Tikal so I could take photos. She was exactly this helpful with everything we did, and was always happy to answer questions. All the hotels we were booked at were good, particularly the first one Rio Dulce. The sites we went to were interesting and well-managed, and covered a wide-range of the country. Each day brought something new and interesting to do or see. In particular, the boat trip to Livingston and the stop at Semuc Champey were highlights, and it felt in several places as if we were seeing things that most tourists didn't get to. There was a lot of driving included, which is to be expected from a tour that covers so much area, but the driver, Luis, was great and I always felt safe in his hands. The car we travelled in was spacious and comfortable, and had lovely aircon, which we very much appreciated. Although most meals weren't included, the places we went to were good value and served good food. We always knew exactly where and when we needed to be to meet Esmerelda and Luis each morning as, in addition to Esmerelda telling us, we also received WhatsApp updates from the head office. They were also happy to arrange slightly different transfers for us, as we were already in the country at the start of the tour, and left on different flights. They did include a free eSim, but we weren't able to get it to work, but there was wifi in the hotels so we didn't really need it.
