San Juan del Sur – We got stuck…
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 11 April 2011
San Juan del Sur is somewhere we planned to stop for a few nights and ended up staying nearly a week, and I still can’t quite put my finger on why. It might have been the relief to be out of the very expensive but lovely Costa Rica, it could be that we both love [...]

Playa Maderas – Nicaraguan Beach Life
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 6 April 2011
Playa Maderas was our first stop in San Juan del Sur. It is about 10km from the main town and although we opted to stay there overnight it is a great option as a day trip. It costs US$15 by taxi and there is also a shuttle that runs from town three times a day. [...]

Nicaragua, Good Times For Backpackers
Blog: Backpacker Bucks - 2 February 2011
Nicaragua is a little bit of the wild west smack dab in the middle of Central America. An up and comer on the backpacker circuit and very budget friendly.

Nicaragua
Blog: Lost World Expedition - 24 July 2010
By time we had made it through our hellish day of Honduras, it was pretty late at night. At the Nicaraguan border they told us there was a hotel just a few miles down the road, so we drove on with our one headlamp, and pulled into the first hotel that we found. When we [...]

Day 29: Finding a piece of paradise
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 15 March 2010
An impressionist sunset(the white speck in the top right should be Venus or Mars - anyone know?) Nicaragua had been lacking somewhat since we got here; to be fair it may have been a little to do with travel fatigue - oh another colonial town, oh another volcano... But today we finally found a haven that reignited our senses - San Juan del Sur, a bay on the southwestern coast of Nicaragua,

Day 30-31: Surfing in Nicaragua
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 15 March 2010
Here it comes, quick! Grab the board, paddle paddle paddle... And now! I pushed myself up and popped onto the surf board, balancing as I tried to stand. Being 8 ft long, it had a lot more stability than I imagined and I was surfing for the first time. The feeling: fucking awesome! I laughed out loudly to myself. I finally got to try something I've always wanted to. Although the whole afternoon

Leòn, San Juan del Sur & Playa Madera
Blog: The Road Chose Me - 50,000kms of ebb and flow - 22 February 2010
I wake in Leòn and decide to spend a lazy day around the city, taking in the sights and enjoying not driving. I spend most of the morning trying to buy a map of the whole of Nicaragua, with no success. Apparently such things don’t exist, and if they do, it’s not possible to get [...]

San Juan del Sur - Nicaragua
Blog: A Travel Diary from Mexico, Central and South America - 3 December 2009
Making our way from Ometepe we headed for Rivas bus station to get a bus to San Juan del Sur. Getting a bus from a bus station is a pretty normal thing to do. But when you have a crowd of taxi drivers telling you a variety of things like the bus doesn't leave for hours, or it takes many hours to get there, you almost start to think you're doing something abnormal! And my disinterested looks and short firm answers they took for haggling. Their price must have halved and halved again, but what they didn't seem to understand was that its not a long journey and we really weren't in a rush.

How Not to Relax on Holiday
Blog: Around The World On The Toilet - 5 July 2009
Ometepe After departing for Granada on a 2hr bus to Rivas, we were herded by the drivers along with another backpacking couple into a van for a 30 cent ride to San Jorge, the dock of our ferry. The ferry crosses the giant Lake Nicaragua to get to our destination of Isla Ometepe. Thankfully the [...]
