When arriving at Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua, one of our trusted drivers will be waiting to greet you as you exit the airport doors, bringing you directly to our hotel.
Once settled in, we'll enjoy a quick siesta and take a tour of the town before enjoying a Bienvenidos Dinner at one of the most celebrated restaurants in town, with an eclectic menu, inventive cocktails, and an outdoor terrace to welcome the night.
After a delicious breakfast the following morning, we'll begin our exploration of the Nicaraguan countryside. Along the way, we'll enjoy an immersive experience of meeting with local lending partners and learning about local culture and delicious traditional fare.
Heading to Leon, we'll continue our journey, meeting other partners as well as small business owners. We'll also enjoy some downtime, explore beautiful Granada, and connect with the birthplace of WCCN.
Finally, our trip will conclude by returning to Managua for a day of culture and reflection before we celebrate our adventure at our Feliz Viaje dinner.
