San Juan del Sur Resorts - Reviews and Rates

So, here we are in Nicaragua. You guessed it, an early start to catch the 4:30am bus from Monteverde to the Interamericana highway on Costa Rica's west coast. We'd read and been told several times that border crossings can take a while, so we tried to get there as early as we could. As it turned out, it was straightforward, although while we did...
