COLONIAL CITIES, NATURE RESERVE & MANGROVE FOREST ADVENTURE
7 DAYS / 6 NIGHTS
 

      

ITINERARY

​Day 1 - MANAGUA
Arrival at the International airport in Managua where you'll be met by one of our representatives and transferred to the hotel for your first night in Nicaragua.  (B)

Day 2 – MANAGUA / LEON
Early morning pick up at your hotel for transfer to the Colonial city of Leon, Nicaragua's original capital.  Explore the rich cultural and political history of one of Nicaragua´s oldest and most influential cities. Defined by its graceful Spanish colonial architecture and fascinating political history, you will soon discover why León is considered Nicaragua's historical, cultural, educational and religious capital.  Climb to the rooftop of Central America's largest cathedral, recently added to UNESCO´s list of World Heritage sites and enjoy the amazing views over the city and surrounding Maribios Volcanic Chain. Visit the San Francisco Convent as well and the beautifully carved Casa de los Leones; the Sutiaba (indigenous neighborhood), the Ruben Dario Museum, Museum of Myths and Legends, and the Central square & murals. Overnight at El Convento, standard room.  (B)

Day 3 - LEON / JUAN VENADO ISLAND AND NATURE RESERVE Visiting the natural reserve of Juan Venado is one of the most unique experiences that Nicaragua has to offer.  During the trip to the island (by motorboat) and then slowly winding your way through the mangroves you will be able to observe a variety of exotic birds, mammals, crabs and other species typical of the zone.  You will have the opportunity to visit a beautiful secluded virgin beach and take a refreshing dip.  Overnight at El Convento (B)

Day 4 – LEON / GRANADA
After breakfast, you will be picked up at your hotel for drive south to Nicaragua's Colonial Jewel, Granada.  Founded in 1524 by the Spaniard Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba, Granada is the oldest colonial city on the Isthmus with a heritage, charm and character rarely found in the cities of today.  Granada's streets are lined with Spanish-style houses with large wooden doors opening onto cool interior patios.  Many of these mansions have been beautifully renovated and now function as restaurants, boutique hotels, or grand residences.  A great way to get a nice overview of the city is by ascending the towers of the La Merced church  (B)

Day 5 - GRANADA 
Early morning pick up at your hotel for a city tour of this charming city.
 Visit relevant sites and colonial buildings as well as the San Francisco Convent and Church founded in 1524, which preserves some of the most interesting indigenous ceramic and statue collections. You will hear stories about real pirates and their adventures, like the infamous Henry Morgan.  We will also visit archeological treasures from Isla Zapatera, a primitive art exhibit and historical display at La Polvora Fort, a warehouse built in 1748 to store gunpowder.  We will  visit its old towers, with beautiful views of the city.  Xalteva Church and walls where the Spaniards met the Indigenous Xalteva population,  and from which it gets its name.  This is the oldest part of Granada. The church was built during colonial times and because of its location, was also used as a military fort.
In the afternoon you will be taken for a boat tour to Las Isletas de Granada: 365 small islets created over 20,000 years ago by a massive volcanic explosion!  ,Today it is a unique place where prominent Nicaraguan have vacation houses and a local fishing community makes its living. The nature is beautiful with lots of birdlife and amazing views of the volcanoes and Lake Nicaragua.  Additional point of interest is the spanish fortress built in the 17th Century to stop pirate attacks on the City of Granada!  Overnight at Hotel in Granada (B)

Day 6 – GRANADA / MOMBACHO VOLCANO
The Mombacho Volcano is one of the most prominent volcanoes in Nicaragua, located only 10 km from Granada. The ride uphill only is an adventure by itself since the steepness of the road guarantees a spectacular ride.  Explore a breathtaking view of the tropical forest of the Mombacho Volcano and enjoy a pleasant Canopy Zip Line Tour while enjoying close contact with nature.  This is a combination hiking and zip line tour with 17 platforms and 3 Hanging Bridges.  Overnight at Hotel in Granada (B)
