Nicaragua Tourism Works
to Expand Tour Programs
The Nicaragua Tourism
Board (INTUR) is making
progress in building the
country’s young tourism
industry, promoting the
country as a new Central
American destination
that offers an authentic
experience of culture,
nature and adventure
highlighted by the
natural warmth of the
people.
Pre-Hispanic artifacts,
colonial architecture
and vibrant folkloric
tradition are set
against a backdrop of
extraordinary natural
beauty, including
volcanoes, beaches,
pristine rainforest and
enormous biodiversity.
Nicaragua is becoming
more accessible as more
tour operators offer
packages to the American
market, including “A
Journey into the Heart
of Greenness,” an
eight-day private
expedition down the San
Juan River through dense
tropical rain forest
from Central America’s
grandest lake to the
Caribbean Sea.
“Nicaragua’s Sleeping
Beauties” enables
clients to experience
highlights of
Nicaragua’s history,
colonial architecture
and nature in a six-day
tour that combines
Managua, Granada, and
Leon with soft adventure
trips to the cloud
forests of the Mombacho
Volcano in Granada and
the active volcanoes of
the Masaya Volcano
National Park.
“Nicaragua History,
Culture & Nature”
provides a Nicaraguan
historian and naturalist
to accompany travelers
on a seven-night,
eight-day tour of
colonial and natural
gems. Highlights include
a boat exploration of
Lake Nicaragua (the
largest freshwater lake
in Central America), a
tour of the colonial
city of Granada and an
expedition to the
pristine La Flor
Wildlife Refuge to
witness massive turtle
arrivals.
“Nicaragua Trekking
Tour” is Soltours’
comprehensive
12-night/13-day tour of
the country’s diverse
topography from a
variety of angles. The
tour ranges from the
northern mountainous
region (which includes
visits to authentic farm
lands and nature
reserves) to the beaches
of Poneloya (on the
Pacific coast) and
climbs the country’s
Pacific Rim volcanoes.
In addition to its new
tour offerings, the
Nicaragua Tourism Board
will be launching the
Nicaragua Coffee Route
to provide tourists with
the opportunity to
experience the
livelihood, traditions
and culture of the
region from the
standpoint of one of the
country’s leading
exports.
