Responsible Travel in Nicaragua

Our style of travel is all about seeing the real Nicaragua and you can get close to the locals with our At Home with the Nicos trip in San Ramon. They have set up a community project in the area where local families open up their homes to visitors. You’ll be immersed in the local culture, trying out the food, practising your Spanish and getting an insight their daily lives.

During your time in Nicaragua you’ll stay in accommodation that reflects the character of your surroundings. You’ll experience a wide variety of styles and standards, from a night in a nature reserve surrounded by wildlife, to a colonial hotel in the city.

The project we have chosen to support in Nicaragua is run by international NGO, Renewable World who support villages situated along the Rio Escondido river. Communities are provided with solar energy systems that give them a clean, safe alternative to burning of harmful chemicals like in their homes providing significant benefits to the health of the families. Solar energy also means children can study in the evenings and small businesses like restaurants can operate, providing an income.

Our Travel Specialists love Nicaragua and have real experiences of travelling through Central America. From sand surfing volcanoes, to dipping their toes in Lake Nicaragua, they are passionate about helping you organise your perfect trip. Find out all about them and their handy tips.

Our local partner in Nicaragua supports our travel values. They are currently developing an initiative to offset the carbon emissions of each booking by planting trees. We use local guides and drivers during all our trips in Nicaragua. Not only does this make for a more rewarding experience for our Rickshaw Ramblers, but it also helps to put money into the pockets of the local people. You’ll also have the advantage of your guide’s local knowledge.
