Pacific Coast Excursion - 8 Days
Experience the splendor, diversity, and culture of Nicaragua.
Slumber on the shorelines amidst small-scale fishing communities. Kayak into vibrant coastal estuaries with egrets, ibis, parrots, sea turtles, and giant iguanas. Roam the streets of Leon, and experience the murals, culture, and open-air markets. Cool down from the afternoon sun by floating in the gentle waters of the Pacific.
Laze in a hammock under the shade of a palapa.
Be lulled to sleep on a deserted beach, surrounded by the starlight.
Your personal comforts will be nurtured as you stretch your mind to a new culture and environment. Unexplored by most, this corner of the planet will reward you with an expanse of serene coastline and an overflowing supply of hospitality. Virtually untouched by travelers, the communities of Padre Ramos, Venicia, Juan Venado, and Leon offer a diverse perspective of wilderness, community, and culture.

 "...In the sunset light and the million glints that flashed on the sea, those streaming oars seemed made of burnished gold. And, in that graceful boat, still rowing, rowing, the lover with his beloved, flying to the land of dreams..."
