San Juan del Sur, located in the department of Rivas, is a destination that attracts visitors from all over the world. Every weekend, this charming place becomes a favorite for lovers of sun, beach and tranquility.
If you don’t have your own vehicle, getting to this idyllic destination is very easy. You can take a bus from the Roberto Huembes market in Managua, which costs 100 córdobas. This will take you to the bus terminal in Rivas, a trip that lasts approximately two and a half hours. From Rivas, you will have to board another transport that will take you directly to San Juan del Sur.
If it’s your first time in this beautiful place, you’ll be instantly amazed when you get off the bus. Its picturesque streets, full of life, will guide you to its most emblematic point: the bay. There, the crystal-clear waters and golden sand invite you to relax, sunbathe and enjoy a landscape that seems straight out of a postcard.
San Juan del Sur has a wide range of restaurants, bars and hotels. If you are looking for an excellent accommodation option, give Escuela Hotel Nicarao a try, which is located just a few steps from the beach, right in front of the well-known El Timón restaurant.
Once settled in, take a stroll along the bay. Admire the scenery, chat with the locals and cool off with a cold coconut. If you get hungry, you can visit the seafront restaurant La Lancha. It offers a varied menu of fresh seafood and delicious à la carte dishes.
As evening falls, head to the beach, sit on the sand and let yourself be carried away by the relaxing sound of the waves as you enjoy a sunset that will take your breath away. The reddish tones blend with the clouds and the blue sky, creating an image worthy of being photographed, until the sun disappears over the horizon.
When night falls, wander the streets of San Juan del Sur and enjoy the contagious joy that mixes between locals and tourists. The vibrant atmosphere will make you feel part of something unique.
For dinner, pizzeria The Old Lady, is an excellent choice. They offer a wide variety of pizzas, from the most traditional to exquisite recipes from Italian cuisine. Prices start at 280 cordobas, and the atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming.
San Juan del Sur not only captivates with its landscapes, but also with the warmth of its people, the delicious cuisine and the serenity of its crystal-clear waters. It is a perfect place to relax, reconnect with yourself and enjoy an unforgettable experience.
