Overview

Trip Overview

Embark on this 7-day Nicaragua vacation and discover the extraordinary natural wonder and storied history embedded across Central America’s largest country, from Granada to San Juan del Sur.

Your adventure begins offshore of Granada, weaving through the Las Isletas archipelago on a scenic boat tour. Formed from a volcanic eruption over 20,000 years ago, the archipelago boasts incredible birdlife and a 17th-century Spanish fortress built to defend Granada from pirate attacks. Return ashore and embark on your horse-drawn carriage tour of the city. Explore Nicaraguan’s pre-Columbian history at the San Francisco Convent, one of Central America’s oldest churches, and enjoy a private twilight tour of the Masaya Volcano, taking you metres away from its glowing molten lava. Explore the verdant cloud forest surrounding the majestic Mombacho Volcano by foot and 4x4 to incredible peaks, marvelling at the views of Granada, Las Isletas, and the Masaya Volcano beyond.

Continue to the beautiful Isla Ometepe, marvelling at the island’s two volcanos emerging from the heart of Lake Nicaragua as you approach. Immerse yourself in the island’s mesmerizing natural and historical wonder as you seek out petroglyphs from ancient civilizations, swim in pristine natural pools, and uncover the stories of ancient pre-Columbian artifacts and Indigenous statues and ceramics from one of Nicaragua’s most isolated and captivating islands. Conclude your time in Nicaragua with a relaxing stay in the town of San Juan del Sur, nestled along the country’s Pacific coast and immerse yourself in a relaxing beach escape.

Hotel Patio del Malinche

El Patio del Malinche is more than just another hotel, it's a dream come true. The interest to live in a different culture and to get to know new horizons took the owners to the ancient town of Granada. The sun-dried bricks of Granada's old walls and the hospitality of its people bewitched them. By restoring an old colonial house they have recreated an ambiance of peace and serenity throughout its inner patios full of history.
