Seeking a Christmas break from our jungle life in Costa Rica, we embarked on an unforgettable journey to Nicaragua—blending adventure, relaxation, and cultural discovery. Our itinerary was intentionally laid-back, allowing us to soak in the beauty of the country while spending quality time together.
While Nicaragua has so much to offer, we tailored our trip to fit our family’s needs, especially with young children. Some areas remain off-limits due to safety concerns, while others are better suited for future visits when our kids are older. The Pacific coast is a well-known surfing hotspot, with options for both beginners and seasoned surfers. However, Nicaragua isn’t just about the waves—there’s a wealth of experiences beyond surfing, from colonial cities and volcanic landscapes to serene beaches and rich local culture.
