Where to Go

If You Have…

One week in Nicaragua:

Visit Granada [1], Ometepe [2], and San Juan del Sur [3].

Two weeks in Nicaragua:

Extend your stay in one of the above, or add León [4] and Chinandega [5]. Add either Estelí/Matagalpa or Bluefields and the Corn Islands.

Three weeks in Nicaragua:

Add the Solentiname islands [6] and a trip down the Río San Juan [7]. Take the time to hike a volcano or explore the Estero Reál [8]. Or work your way up the Pacific coast, one beach at a time.

Four weeks in Nicaragua:

Go deep. After visiting the above, get off the beaten track using Matagalpa, Jinotega, or Estelí [9] as a base, or spend a couple days camping in the more remote wildlife reserves of Matagalpa and the Río San Juan.
