I and my wife had a wonderful two-week trip of Nicaragua, thanks to our guide David Rosales owner of travel agency “Enjoy Nicaragua”. We travelled almost all over the country. David was with us every day. He received us at the airport and saw us of at the end of the trip. He speaks fluent English. He has very good knowledge of the geological history of the land
We hiked up several volcanoes and on lush green trails on the rim of two volcanoes. Hiking down the Cerro Negro volcano looked very scary and intimidating but it was quite safe and lot of fun. Mombacho volcano cloud forest walk was very scenic. The views from Marduk garden hotel looking down into the valley were absolutely breathtaking.
The cities of Leon and Grenada are very charming. Ometepe island about one hour from the mainland is very interesting. We had a beautiful lake front bungalow. We spent last 2 days of our trip in the beautiful town of San Juan del Sur on the Pacific Ocean.
Nicaragua has very low crime rate compared to most other countries in Central and South America. We felt very safe walking in the night. Also prices are very reasonable- coming from US, every thing looked cheap.
I would strongly recommend “Enjoy Nicaragua” if you decide to visit this beautiful country.
