Nicaragua

Nicaragua, the land of volcanoes and lakes, promises a profoundly authentic experience for travelers looking to explore the road less traveled.

Nicaragua, the land of volcanoes and lakes, promises a profoundly authentic experience for travelers looking to experience the road less traveled. The country’s ecological and cultural treasures are not primped and primed for mass tourism but instead reflect a natural beauty and personality that are neither pompous nor ordinary – from primordial volcanoes rising from the dramatic landscape to utterly deserted beaches and tropical forests brimming with wildlife. 

Nicaragua’s indigenous and Spanish Colonial heritage, mixed with luxurious locally owned lodges and eco-resorts, delivers big on awe, no matter where you travel. The blend of cultures, history, and natural resources are the perfect ingredients to create a robust artisan heritage. A visit to the Masaya market or a walk through the streets of Granada and León, and you’re sure to take home some of the beautifully handcrafted items on display. 

Religious and popular festivals celebrated throughout the year also demonstrate the country’s diverse cultures in a lively display of colors, earthy rhythms, and exuberant singing and dancing unique to Nicaragua. Let our expert travel curators design a genuine Nicaraguan journey guaranteed to enchant.

We had an unforgettable vacation in southern Nicaragua. Nekupe Resort was not only luxurious but offered a great assortment of activities, of which birding, and horseback riding were our favorites. Topping off the experience in Granada was a great call by Adrian. Mingling with the locals while enjoying fabulous meals and shopping for awesome artwork really rounded out the experience.

I never expected to fall in love with Nicaragua. Thank you Katrin and the TP team. My family was enchanted by Morgan’s Rock Resort and all of the activities they offered. I was thrilled to visit the artisan markets in Masaya and stroll the streets of Granada. We ate an amazing mix of traditional and fusion cuisine and had a great rapport with our local tour guides who were always so friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for the great memories!

My wife and I had an extraordinary adventure in Nicaragua, including being greeted at the airport by the Travel Pioneers guide and the perfect trip itinerary to match our interests. I particularly enjoyed our two nights at El Coyol’s private island on Lake Nicaragua. The personalized service, kayaking among the islands, and tranquility were an otherworldly experience. Thank you, Travel Pioneers! We’ll be back!

That was amazing! Thank you so much for organizing one of the very best vacations our family has ever experienced. The attention to detail particularly getting us from one place to another was phenomenal, especially crossing over to Nicaragua and back. (…) And each day was better than the one before.
