Honeymoon in Nicaragua Clone plan

If you ask us, vacation starts the moment you get past security at the airport - so yes, you have two stops on your way to Managua, but most of them are overnight. Have a drink and then sleep your way to Central America.

Once you arrive to Managua, take the Iskra shuttle to San Juan Del Sur - about a 2.5 hour ride down the highway to the beautiful Hotel Villas de Palermo. After checking in, beeline to the beach and bask in the 80 degree water. You made it! Grab di...

Sweat out that stale airport air with a brisk uphill hike to one of the largest Jesus statues in the world, from which you can see all of San Juan Del Sur. In the evening, enjoy a sunset trip on the oft-talked about "Pirate Ship" of Two Guys Adven...

Not only is it Sunday Funday, a weekly celebration in the party town of SJDS, but it's Super Bowl Sunday! Ask around to find out if there's a TV where you can watch some American football, or say screw it - you'll see it next year!

Catch a bus from San Juan Del Sur to the town of San Jorge where you will hop on a ferry to Isla de Ometepe, the largest island in Lake Nicaragua, which is situated between two volcanos.

Kayaking on Rio Istian is a great way to explore the isthmus between the two volcanos - Maderas and Concepcion. In the afternoon, take a cool dip in the MUST-EXPERIENCE natural spring waters of Ojo de Agua.

Ready to sweat? Hire a guide to take you up Volcan Concepcion, where you will be able to see for miles. It's a trek for sure, but the views are worth it. (Alternatively, Maderas volcano is a shorter, but more strenuous hike)

Back on the ferry, then into either a taxi or bus up towards Masaya - but you'll hop off early at Laguna de Apoyo, the warmest and cleanest lake in Central America. You're crashing at a hostel, but the name Paradiso is no joke - you may want to st...

The hostel offers free stand up paddle boards, kayaks, and more - so enjoy your day on the stunning waters of Apoyo. For dinner, La Abuela's is a must try.

Next stop: Granada. Once you arrive, check in and enjoy a real shower at Hotel Xalteva, before heading to the Hotel Mansion de Chocolate for one of many spa treatments, including a cocoa scrub and reflexology.

The Isletas de Granada are where many of NIcaragua's elite have homes, so hop on a chartered boat to ogle some seriously stunning private islands. Dinner is at Granada favorite El Zaquan for steak on steak on steak.

Enjoy a sleep-in and a dip in the pool before wandering the streets of colonial Granada - and definitely climb to the top of Iglesia de Merced, which offers 360 degrees of Granada and beyond.

Time to get REALLY remote! Hop on a bus to Managua and then onto a small La Costña prop plane to Corn Island. This hour and a bit trip will drop you off on a tiny slice of paradise, where you'll check into the Paraiso Beach Hotel, and spend the re...

Snorkeling is on the agenda today - grab a boat captain and have him take you out the the previously untouched Spanish Galleon shipwreck off the coast - you'll see a sunken canons and an anchor.

Day trip to Little Corn Island, which may be even more incredible than Big Corn - so tiny and quiet that not a single motorized vehicle can be found - only your two feet to take you across the jungle-d island. Stop by Little Corn Beach and Bungalo...

Nothing on the agenda today except r-e-l-a-x-i-n-g, and some delicious fried fish at Martha's bed and Breakfast.

It's almost time to end your vacation... you'll definitely feel back to real life when you check into the Best Western near the Managua airport, but it's worth it to be across the street since you have an early flight. Enjoy one last fancy dinner ...
