Latin American Escapes

Nicaragua is a nature lover’s paradise, and on this specially designed itinerary you’ll explore in-depth the country’s most fascinating eco-systems. 

Discover the intense birdlife of the tropical dry forests of the Montibelli Reserve, and rare orchids and ferns of the Jaguar Nature Reserve. Both reserves are small private retreats with comfortable lodging that we have sought out especially to provide you with the best nature experience possible.

Your time in the Solentiname archipelago will show you the Los Guatuzos research center deep in the wetlands on the southern shore of Lake Nicaragua. A special visit is also made to the islands to visit the famous artists and artisans located here.

Other cultural stops include the colonial city of Granada and the Masaya artisans market. With a few extra days, add on a trip deep into the Indio Maiz Nature Reserve for caiman viewing, and touring the old castle of El Castillo.
