Managua Travel Blogs

we landed in Managua at 10:15 but only for a short time before leaving again to the corn islands at 11. the only way to fly to the corn islands is from Managua and there is only one company that flies there. the plane is so small that they have to weigh you before you are allowed to get on. i was a…

Today we head back home.   We catch the first airport shuttle to the airport.  There are a couple of surfer guys taking the bus as well.  They have been surfing on the (Pacific) coast for a week and they said it was fun.  The line to check in is really long but we are …

Saturday, November 15We checked in to the Hilton Princess Managua again just in time for the awesome happy hour they have in the executive lounge and ended up having appetizers and Tona’s.  Cindy wasn’t feeling well at all so we bailed on our initial idea of going back to the crazy disco/s…

  Once again it was difficult travelling. I was able to get a direct bus to Managua, but progress was really slow as it stopped in every little village on the way. In Managua I had to take a taxi to the other end of town for my onwards transportation to Granada. Managua is the capital of…

So it was time to leave the island, it is a sad thing when time runs out, and you wish you`d just had a few more days to relax and enjoy it a little more…well next time ! Obviously the buses from Playa Santa Domingo to Moyagalpa were so far apart that we didn’t even get time for a little swim ,…

Shortly after passing through Tegus we came to the border of Honduras and Nicaragua!! We exited the vehicle as a mass, and headed over to the stations to have our passports checked and authorized. I noticed that if you gave them a little tip, you immediately exited the line, had a stamp in you…

We took a 15hr bus ride from Guatelama city to the Nicaragua capital of Managua on one of the nices buses I've ever been on. Really, Greyhound should come down and check these buses out. We had 2 "inflight" movies and the seats reclined a ton. Way more comfortable than an airplane. The bus dropped …

This trip almost didn´t happen. The Patron Saint of Travels (Christopher?) must have stepped away from his desk, because I almost didn´t make it to Nicaragua.First, some minor drama getting to SFO. Finally got there, and was told to stand in a loooong line to check in. After 45 minutes, they fina…

from an amazing 14 days in Nicaragua. I had origionally intended on doing a day-to-day while i was there but found myself either too busy or without access to a computer while I was there. I decided to sum up the high-lights once I returned to the US of A, so that brings me to now. Ive only b…

I Arrived in Managua , the capital of Nicaragua early in the afternoon after getting a late start in the morning. The bus ride was really good only about 1.5 hours along a very smooth and straight road ... highly unusual for Latin America. Found a hostel and went looking for a laundrette - the loca…

For Once, People Are RightOne of the things that I have concluded about this travelling lark is you have to make your own mind up about places.  However, everything I ever heard about Managua is right.  It is one scary place.  There is an underlying threat that I have not felt anywhe…

Don´t go to Managua it is horrible. We only went there because we (stupidly) ran out of money and there was no ATM or travellers cheques changing place in San Carlos. And we had run out of dollars. Stupid tourists. So what did we have to do? We had to get the 10 hour bus to Managua from San Carl…

Nicaragua, land of volcanos and lakes, and home of the FSLN! We finally made it to Nicaragua, after a very LONG day of travelling.  And we were sort of in a jam because we had hoped to make it to León before nightfall, but it just didn't happen that way.  Instead we found ourselves in …

I spent one week in Nicaragua for two reasons: it was my last Central American nation to visit, and it was my birthday! After 5 days of my usual 'backpacking' and roughing it, I spent the last two days in an all-inclusive Pacific resort... It was a great gift and trip!!

Made it back to Oregon. I've updated some pictures with more to come.
