Highlights

Liberia - Departing from any hotel in Guanacaste, we head towards Liberia, passing through this city without stopping to make the most of our time.
Penas Blancas - After passing through Liberia, we continue our journey to the border at Peñas Blancas, which takes about 40 minutes. Our company has already taken care of the exit taxes from Costa Rica and the entry taxes to Nicaragua for your convenience. We may stop for 15 to 20 minutes due to the line of trucks, but Costa Rican authorities are always present to ensure safety.
Isletas de Granada - After crossing the border, we travel for about 20 to 25 minutes to reach the famous Lake Nicaragua in the city of Rivas. Here, you can take photos with your loved ones and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You can also have breakfast before or after exploring the area.
Granada - We then continue to the city of Granada, arriving in about an hour. Here, we take a boat on the lake to an island where you can see monkeys, spiders, and other islands. This 25-minute tour offers plenty of photo opportunities and a real sense of adventure.
Catarina - Next, we visit Lake Las Catarina, a stunning spot with a blue landscape and occasional live music. You can use binoculars to take in the view.
Masaya - The guide will explain the history of the Masaya volcanoes, which have erupted several times and were feared by both indigenous peoples and Spanish conquerors. We’ll visit the Visitor Center to learn more, then drive to the highest point of the volcano to observe the lava. Afterward, we’ll enjoy a delicious Creole lunch.
Mercado de Artesanias de Masaya - After lunch, we’ll visit the Oriental Craft Market for some shopping, where you can buy souvenirs and gifts. This concludes our tour of Nicaragua, and we’ll return to Costa Rica.
Lake Nicaragua - Enjoy a boat ride on Lake Nicaragua to visit the islands of Granada.

Wonderful experience! - Eddie was our guide and along with Jimmy, our driver, they made sure we were taken care of at every stop. The breakfast and lunch were delicious and the sights were beautiful. Eddie's love of Nicaragua was so apparent and he answered questions from the 3 of us all day. it was a very long day but we were glad we took the tour and would recommend it to others,

Enchanted by nicaragua - Eduardo aka Eddie was wonderful! The transfer from costa rica to nicaragua was super smooth. Then as we were driven in a very nice van, Eddie showed us a map on his computer of everything we will see and do and all about the geography of this part of nicaragua. this tour was one of the best parts of the trip. We ate a great breakfast served by a family. Then the volcano which was explained really well by Eddie. Then the horse and carriage ride thru Granada with a history lesson during the ride, then a chocolate tour/ education. Then a great lunch and followed by a boat tour of the lake seeing some beautiful houses and seeing wild monkeys was incredible. the people of nicaragua were so kind
