Managua - Post Report Question and Answers

What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?

Lots of nature and hiking. Granada is a cute, touristy colonial town. Corn Island is a great getaway on the Caribbean side. - Dec 2021


There are so many: the Pacific coast beaches, swimming in Laguna de Apoyo, hiking up one of the many volcanoes in the country, wandering the colonial streets on Granada, rum tasting at Flor de Cana, hiking in Somoto Canyon, kayaking around Ometepe Island. - Jun 2020


Sabalos Lodge on the Rio San Juan. - Apr 2018


The nearest beaches are an hour away. Within 30 minutes you can reach the Volcan Masaya, the town of Masaya (wonderful artisan market), the historic city of Granada, hike at el Chocoyero (parakeet forest/waterfall) and much more. Managua has some good restaurants, a VIP theater (order sushi and drinks!) and a nice and safe (but small) mall to stroll around. - Mar 2012


Markets, volcanoes to hike, beaches, one theater (for broadway type shows), boat trips, wonderful movie theaters, great resturants. - Mar 2011
