Hey folks,
since the kind people on this form have helped me out quite a lot, I hope you can provide me with some advice once again.
I'd like to go to Corn Island from Managua by bus. The information on the route, however, derive from two friends who travelled the route almost three years ago, I therefore would like to know if myinformation is still correct:
1) The route is:
Managua - Rama (bus)
Rama - Bluefield (river boat)
Bluefield - Big Corn Island (sea boat).
2) I also remember that you have to leave Managua for Rama precisely on TUESDAY 9:00pm arriving on WEDNESDAY 3:00am. The boat for Bluefield leaves at 6:00am already and arrives at 8:00am;
3) I was told it is necessary to arrive on Wednesdays, because the only reliable boat that definitely leaves from Bluefield for Big Corn is the Bluefield Express - Rio Escondido Boat leaving Bluefield for Corn Island only on WEDNESDAY at 9:00am arriving at Corn Island at 2:00pm.
Is all this correct still or are there more flexible ways to go, if you want to go by bus? Are there eny places where you can place reservations for either of the two boats?
Also, which budget accomodations can you recommend on the Corn Islands? We're a bit of a party crowd, so music & Dance would definitely not bother us, but rather be appreciated....
Many thanks for your help,
alemantico
