Why This Trip

Visit Nicaragua's most iconic destinations

Our 9 Days Classic Nicaragua tour brings together Nicaragua’s most famous destinations in one unforgettable journey.

Hike through the cloud forest of Mombacho Volcano, unwind at the crystal-clear waters of Laguna de Apoyo and cruise through the beautiful Isletas de Granada as the sun disappears behind Lake Nicaragua.

The adventure continues on the volcanic island of Ometepe, where you’ll kayak through the mangroves of Río Istián, swim in the natural springs of Ojo de Agua and watch the sunset from Punta Jesús María. Every stop has been carefully selected to show you a different side of Nicaragua, combining nature, adventure, history and local traditions.

Wir können die Free Walking Tour von Leonel sehr empfehlen man lernt sowohl die Satdt kennen wie auch eine wenig über die Geschichte von Nicaragua.

The breakfast included was nice and we also tried the passionfruit cheesecake which was delicious. Leo and Margarita were great hosts and I highly recommend choosing Casa Mundo Verde for your stay in Leon.

I assume the rooms are very good, as is their service, coffee and help with tours and anything you would like to do in and around León and further beyond. The place is run by local guide Leo and Dutch Margarita. Highly recommended to enquire after the guided tours of León. Also the best coffee in town. And smoothies.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben drei Nächte im Casa Mundo Verde verbracht und waren mit allem sehr zufrieden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, alle waren super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben tolle Touren gebucht und auch hier wurde auf jeden Wunsch eingegangen. Das Frühstück war super und auch zum Verweilen lädt das Café ein. Der Oreo Cheesecake war hammer! Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unserer Meinung nach. Ein toller ruhiger Ort in mitten der vollen Stadt. Vielen Dank, wir würden uns jederzeit wieder dafür entscheiden.
