🇺🇸 Laguna de Apoyo

October 3, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

Another nice day-trip from Granada is to the beautiful Laguna de Apoyo. The lagoon is one of those volano-collapsed-then-filled-with-rainwater type phenomenon. We went to a lookout to see the lagoon and the surrounding Pueblas Blancas, “White Towns” which were not white, but rather pretty, small communities near the lake. Lychees in Nicaragua look furry The […]

A nice day-trip from Granada is a visit to the Masaya volano. Most people visit the Nindiri cone, Santiago crater being the impressive one constantly spewing sulfur clouds into the air. The Masaya cone is just next door and, good on us, we visited both. Click here for a recap of our trip to Masaya […]

🇺🇸 ♫ Granada ♫

September 29, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

We headed south to Granada and arrived still reeling from a serious bus-fare ripoff that resulted in being overcharged about $4. Once we arrived in Granada, however, we couldn’t stay upset for long; a more grand and perhaps bourgeois version of León and at least 5°F cooler, we were won over immediately. The sunset that […]

🇺🇸 Revolución en León

September 28, 2015.Reading time 8 minutes.

At some point in our border crossings the previous day, we were sternly reminded that our CA-4 visa (the tourist visa that allows you to stay in Guatemala/Honduras/El Salvador/Nicaragua for a total of 90 days) was to run out in two weeks time and that we best exit Nicaragua before it ran out. This gave […]

🇺🇸 El Tunco, El Salvador

September 26, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

We ended up in El Tunco kind of randomly. El Tunco is a tourist bubble, big in surfer circles, on the coast of a country in the midst of a war on drugs, gang members and police fighting to the death. As we sat in our little private hut, the fan humming loudly over the […]
