This is a very beautiful place to take picture. The spot I visited was very rocky and so you will need water shoes or feet like the Flintstones. The water felt great though and the black sand was bea…381desir_ec的完整评论

I booked 2 tours with a small company just 1 block from the cathedral on the street with all the bars and restaurants. Not sure of the name but maybe Mohamid Tours. They were very nice and bargaining made it really good value. Sorry my memory for names not the best but easy to find.
Is there just one resort that Miranda B could be referring to and if so, what's its name? Thank you.

There are several resorts on the laguna and a few in walking distance. I stayed at Casa Marimba. The ones on the lakefront property will be much more expensive . I would look at all …

There is not a lot in Esteli. It is as safe as you can get in Nicaragua but still be very careful at night. It is a point to catch a lot of buses in the north. It is a good point to reach the …
There is not a lot in Esteli. It is as safe as you can get in Nicaragua but still be very careful at night. It is a point to catch a lot of buses in the north. It is a good point to reach the Somoto Canyon which is a two hour chicken bus ride and a 20 min taxi ride. At this point in Somoto, you are less than an a hour from the border. You could head east to cross and go to Choluteca in Honduras on CA1 or head north to cross the San Juan River to El Paridiso. Most head east. Esteli is 1 day at the most unless you have something pre planned or visiting friends .
I live in California, and am thinking of retiring to this region of Nicaragua. Any advice for a long term place to stay for a month or so as I look at options. I am a 60++ year old female traveling by myself- and possibily my dog is customs/animal requirements allow for this. Don't be afraid to offer ideas and suggestions-I will be on a limited budget. Thank you!

Get a cheap hotel and then search for a local house for rent with the local people. If you're planning to retire here I imagine that at least you speak Spanish fluently right ? So just walk …
Get a cheap hotel and then search for a local house for rent with the local people. If you're planning to retire here I imagine that at least you speak Spanish fluently right ? So just walk around the small shops and sure enough they will put you in contact with the right places .
Does anybody know of a good diving company who does tours at Laguna de Apoyo?

I recently dived there. Jeffrey McCrary is a scientist working with the Estacion Biologica. Jeffrey has been conducting a study of the fish in the lake. We dove just at the beginning of the breeding season. There are at least 100 pairs of fish nesting, most of them with tiny fry. Several species of fish have been discovered by them. By diving with them, you help them collect data to promote their protection. You can see photos of the fish and the lake at 8882-3992. In response to some of the other people here, the lake is about as clear as the Pacific Ocean, but without currents and dangers. The visibility on my dive was about four meters in some parts, eight meters in others. A dive cost 35 dollars.
