I’m planning a solo trip to Nicaragua. I won’t be there for a long time, only 6 days. Looking to see how to make the best of my short time there. I want to spend time doing excursions (specifically volcano boarding and volcano hiking) and exploring some cool cities. I would like to spend some time at the beach as well. I know one city specialize in pottery, would like to visit that one too. The cities I’m considering are:
Granada, Leon, San Juan Del Sur, Little Corn Island, Las Penitias.
I know I’m not going to be able to visit all these area, but looking for recommendations on which area I should visit/ make more of a priority. Suggested itineraries and hostel recommendations are welcome as well!
Thanks in advance.
Assuming you fly in and out of Managua, I suggest starting in Leon (volcano boarding is near there), then Granada/ Laguna de Apoyo/ Volcan Masaya at night, then finish in San Juan del Sur if you feel inclined. DM me for any specific questions.
Corn islands are far and would require flying based on your short schedule.
