The route begins in the tropical and cloud forests of the north, with beautiful landscapes, indigenous and peasant life, waterfalls, green and deep mountains, birds, exotic butterflies and frogs, coffee and cocoa plantations, all a natural experience. After enjoying the aromas of earth and just being one with nature, we adventure ourselves to active volcanoes, hot springs, vast lakes, panoramic views, the old colonial cities of America, the beautiful island of two volcanoes, Ometepe, and paradisiacal beaches in the south. This trip combines the experience of the most remote and unknown villages to tourists, with the most beautiful places in the country for vacation, without getting away from the exuberant expressions of nature in Nicaragua.
