Searching for a Quetzal

We have today and tomorrow to spend time in the area of the Poas volcano, but due to an error in the choice of our hotel, we ended up in a place completely away from all tourist itineraries. Usually, people stay east of the volcano to take the illustrated blue route, which climbs up to the […]

Happiness is in the meadow

We spent two nights in Alajuela, northwest of the capital. It was a short stopover necessary to warm ourselves up after suffering from the cold and rain in Monteverde and Arenal. We gladly wore our sandals and could pick in the largest selection of clothes in our luggages, the one devoted to a summer climate. Upon arrival at our […]

Pura Vida!

Yesterday, we all did the 18 zip line at Selvatura Park in Monteverde (3.2 KM long). I had not booked with Uniktour for Lohan and for myself because I wanted to start with an easier adventure.

Ometepe Island

Ometepe Island is straight out of a Mayan legend. First, it is located in the middle of the huge Lake Nicaragua and flanked by two huge volcanoes. Its location and its beauty certainly have served as inspiration in animation program The Mysterious Cities of Gold. The island where Esteban and Zia finally found the entrance […]

León: Highs and lows

Our hotel in León is the Flor de Sarta. The two owners, Benjamin and Sandrine, are absolutely exceptional. They had set out to find the best doctor for Papy when we arrived and after, their generosity was boundless. They took several hours of their time to serve as interpreters with nurses and doctors, have facilitated the […]

In a coffee plantation

Today is our longest drive in this trip to Nicaragua. Sounda started her day first by bringing her father to Granada for a blood test because his wound continues to ooze. The plasma loss is significant enough to worry Sounda, who wishes to have a blood test done to better interpret vital signs. Meanwhile, Mael found a unique specimen of hairy caterpillar. […]
