Curious about Nicaragua, but not sure about exploring on your own? This is the trip for you. My “Taste of Nicaragua” small group trip has been meticulously crafted to share with you some of the famous landmarks and experiences of this captivating country that still retains its off-the-beaten-track allure. Begin your journey at Villa Laguna, a retreat center nestled on the shores of the Laguna de Apoyo crater lagoon. Here, immerse yourself in a unique space that sets the stage for relaxation, rejuvenation, and anticipation of the adventures ahead. Next, we venture north to Leon, a city steeped in history and known as the intellectual hub of Nicaragua. Wander through colonial streets, visit its famous cathedral, delve into the world of coffee and rum — two of Nicaragua's proud contributions to the world — and bask in some beach time along the Pacific Ocean. On our return to Villa Laguna, brace yourself for an awe-inspiring stop at the Masaya Volcano. Witness lava inside the crater, a rare spectacle that promises a truly unforgettable experience. Back in Laguna de Apoyo, take time to soak up the raw beauty of the crater lagoon and Natural Reserve, while you enjoy a carefully crafted plant-based menu designed to entice your senses. You'll also have the opportunity to explore some of Nicaragua's unmissable sights, including the colonial charm of Granada and a hike up the iconic Mombacho Volcano, all conveniently situated quite close to your home-base. Join me on this cultural and natural wonders adventure, offering a taste of a country that will undoubtedly capture your heart. Nicaragua awaits!

About Me: Hi! I am Miriam, Spanish globetrotter (60+ countries) that ended up settling in Nicaragua, at the shore of a volcano crater. I own and run a retreat center, teach yoga, create delicious plant-based food and rescue animals like there was no tomorrow. I have been hosting groups for years now, and would love to have you joining one of my trips around Nicaragua. I basically take care of everything, so you only need to get here and enjoy the ride! People who join my retreats or group trips are usually fun, open-minded conscious individuals that appreciate having a good experience by the hand of someone who knows the lay of the land. Is that you?

Nights 1+2 and 5+6 are spent at Villa Laguna, a retreat center right at the shore of the Laguna de Apoyo Crater Lagoon. The 3rd night is spent at at a high end iconic colonial hotel right in the center of Leon. The 4th night is spent at a beach hotel located right at the oceanfront. All three accommodations are very unique and offer rooms with private bathrooms. The shared option is sharing with only one other person. Private rooms are available for an additional cost. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
