Frequently Asked Questions

At the Corinto wharf, the country's main seaport. The small town begins a few hundred metres from the berth — one of the simplest calls in Central America for getting ashore without waiting.
Either the town on foot, which takes about an hour, or the excursion to León, roughly 95 kilometres away. The two do not combine: León takes the day.
The central park, the church, low houses in faded colours, cycle rickshaws weaving between stalls, and a market serving fresh juices and daily specials. An hour covers it, and that hour has the taste of a real place.
About 95 kilometres, roughly an hour and a half by road. Ship excursions cover the round trip with a guide; taxis also wait near the port gate.
One of the finest colonial ensembles in Central America. Granada's old rival was long the country's intellectual capital, and it still shows in its bookshops, universities and political murals.
It is the largest cathedral in Central America and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its white roof, open to visitors, gives a full circle view over bell towers, tiled roofs and the volcanic range on the horizon.
A son of the country who became a major figure in Hispanic letters. A museum is devoted to him in León, steps from the cathedral.
Sugar cane fields and villages where horse carts share the road with trucks, with the cones of San Cristóbal and Telica volcanoes behind — some of which occasionally release a plume. The drive is part of the experience.
Bottled water and serious sun protection: the Nicaraguan Pacific plain is among the hottest areas in the region. If you take a taxi, agree the price and return time before setting off, and keep a comfortable margin.
No, it stays off the main circuits — which is exactly what makes the day valuable. You come back with images few travellers share.
