Day 1 to 2: Welcome to Nicaragua!
As we landed at Managua International Airport, the warmth of Nicaragua greeted us. Our private transfer whisked us away to the heart of Managua, setting the stage for the adventures to come. The anticipation built as we received our travel documents, a key to the hidden treasures awaiting discovery.
Day 3 to 4: Blissful Days in San Juan del Sur
Leaving the city behind, we embarked on a scenic drive to Playa Ocotal at Morgan’s Rock, a secluded haven near the Pacific Ocean. The following days were ours to savor the richness of nature and adventure. From hiking to kayaking, horseback riding to surfing lessons, every moment was a choice between tranquility and excitement. San Juan del Sur, with its breathtaking landscapes and activities, provided the perfect canvas for the initial strokes of our honeymoon masterpiece.
Day 5 to 6: Granada - Colonial Charm and Cigar Delight
A new chapter unfolded as we left the coast for Granada, a colonial jewel nestled by Lake Nicaragua. Guided by horse-drawn carriage, we traversed the city’s historic landmarks, immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of its past. The day continued with a visit to the renowned Mombacho Cigar Factory, where we not only witnessed the artistry behind cigar-making but also crafted our own, a tangible memory of our journey.
Day 7 to 8: Mombacho Volcano Adventures
The Mombacho volcano beckoned, and we answered its call with a self-guided hike through lush rainforests.

The journey continued through Pueblos Blancos, weaving through villages famed for their handicrafts, adding vibrant hues to our memories.
