About this trip
Six days across Nicaragua's highlights, starting in the colonial city of Granada and finishing on the Pacific coast at San Juan del Sur. In between you cross Lake Nicaragua to Ometepe, an island formed by two volcanoes.
It's a straightforward, easy-paced route rather than a deep-dive expedition, with hotels, transport and a guide sorted so you can focus on the places themselves.
Group numbers can shift along the way as travellers join or peel off, so who you're with may change from stop to stop.
