With binoculars in hand, scout the northern highland forests for sightings of quetzals.
Relax on the beaches where lush jungle meets turquoise waters, perhaps taking a yoga class.
Amble the streets of colonial cities, interacting with locals and sampling road-side fruits.
Hike to the top of Concepcion Volcano on Ometepe Island for all-encompassing island views.
Encompassing the real focal points of Nicaragua, this journey through the land of coffee and colonial architecture is one of extremes. From Leon, the laid-back city with a stark white cathedral, to Ometepe Island, the volcanic island with a sensational sunset, this trip takes in fascinating wildlife, colourful streets and lush jungles. With explorations of the oldest city in Latin America, the cloud forests of northern Nicaragua and the private white-sand beach of an exclusive eco-lodge, this is a breathtaking journey through marvels that simply need to be seen in person.
