Granada Small Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We all liked Granada and considered it to be one of our favorite towns. It seemed to save Nicaragua for us as a country. The hotel was right on the square and in the thick of the city. Food was great and ambiance was very nice. This day started with short mountain ride to a National Park called Parque National Volcan Masaya. This is the oldest N...

We arrived in Granada just as it was getting dark and scrambled amongst about 10 other gringos on our bus to find a hostel. Fortunately we found a good one near the center of town, where beds cost more than we would normally pay ($7 per person) but included a big breakfast and free internet. We got a room with the just the 4 of us, with Joel and...

Granada is a charming little colonial town an hour away from Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. The hostel I stayed in was quite nice with a bar and hammocks around the courtyard. We went out clubbing at El Club, teenybopper central and also at Cafe Nuit, salsa place. It was quite a fun place. Yesterday, I also went to the Monkey Hut on Laguna d...

We went to Tica Bus Terminal at 7am. It costs L380 to get to Managua from here with Tica Bus. They decided to catch the Chicken bus but I went with Tica Bus. We got to the border around 12pm. Then we had to pay $3US to leave Honduras and $8US to enter Nicaragus. Tica Bus is great since they take care of everything for you. When we got to Managua...

For our final day in Grenada we decided to go Canopying (activity where you zip line between trees at various heights). We have come across many places where you can do this but we finally decided to do it in Nicaragua as it was cheap, and we got to see a coffee farm as we did it right in the middle of one! We drove for an hour on probably the b...

So, da bin ich wieder, mitten in Nicaragua... werde mal einfach chronologisch den heutigen tag abarbeiten da ich das noch nie gemacht habe...keine ahnung obs interessant wird, aber versuchen kann ichs ja... 8:30 aufstehn, den kanadier der mit mir weiterreisen will loswerden und ab zum bus... der kanadier war o.k. aber ich ziehe es vor chaotisch ...

Up at 5am, barely caught the 6am bus out of Tegucigalpa, getting it by 5minutes and snatching the last seat.... dopeness. This bus would actually bring me directly to the border which is a pretty sweet. The ride there was through more really pretty country side of hills and pine trees. The pine trees is really weird because I havenīt seen any in...

So much for budget travel... one night in a dorm for $6 each... and we went looking for a better place today. Our budget room has absolutely zero security for our stuff... the door to our dorm room has a big hole in the screen so you don't actually need a key to get in. That mixed with the cleanliness and we're outta here. The other 2 travellers...

So, time came eventually to leave Leon - i had gone for 3 days and landed up staying 2 weeks! A bunch of us decided to move on down to Granada, a gorgeous little colonial town about an hour or so south east of managua, so we hopped on the minibuses and made it down there fairly painlessly. Upon arrival at the Bearded Monkey hostel, the conceited...

After our detour to the north, we clocked up a lot of mile in the south. The Pan American Highway (stretching from Canada to Patagonia) was great but we soon were back on potholed monstrosities. We passed loads of volcanoes, I'll be bored of them soon, and off to the Pacific coast. We had heard of a little restaurant on the cliffs a 15 km north ...
