The Adventure
Three days off grid into Indio Maíz
Indio Maíz Biological Reserve is one of the most untouched rainforests in Central America and one of Nicaragua’s greatest natural treasures. Home to sloths, monkeys, caimans, colourful birds, and countless other wildlife, it’s a place where nature still sets the pace. During this 3 Days Indio Maíz Camp Tour, we’ll leave the city behind, travel along the San Juan River, and venture deep into the reserve, where we’ll camp beneath the jungle canopy and experience life completely off the grid.
