What You Can Expect
Get an early start on the day with 5 am pick up at your hotel, then head for the border with Nicaragua (the early departure time helps avoid lines at the border). Once across, stop for a Nicaraguan breakfast near the city of Rivas, then continue to Granada, one of the oldest colonial cities in America.
Trade your vehicle for a horse-drawn carriage tour of Granada?s distinctive architecture, from the yellow-and-white cathedral to the Plaza de Espa?a, where you?ll have great views of Lake Nicaragua. Pause for lunch in a restaurant with a view of the city, refueling for an afternoon of exploring the area near Masaya Volcano National Park.
Watch for the fluid basaltic lava that sometimes appears on Nicaragua?s most active volcano, then visit a market in Masaya town, where vendors bring locally-crafted pottery?(it makes a great souvenir of Nicaragua).?Following your time in Masaya, begin the return trip to Costa Rica, where this tour concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.
