Reasons To
Visit Nicaragua

  • Arts and crafts

    Wonderful, colourful local arts and crafts can be found throughout Nicaragua, but if you have a particular interest then exploring the traditional Chorotega villages that surround the Masaya Volcano, which are well know for their talented craftsmen, is a must. San Juan de Oriente in particular has gained international recognition for its elegant ceramic earthenware.

  • Coffee

    Nicaraguan coffee is simply delicious! The country boasts some of the best coffee in the world and ranks in the top ten in gourmet coffee production, with over 30,000 different coffee farms. It was introduced in the mid nineteenth century and has since thrived, becoming one of Nicaragua’s principal exports along with sesame, tobacco and palm oil.

  • Colonial history

    With beautiful cities, like Leon and Granada, and their bright colourful buildings offering a spectacular insight into the Spanish colonial era, Nicaragua is a wonderful destination for history-lovers or those in search of a unique cultural experience.

  • Off the beaten track

    Nicaragua is a wonderful country for those looking to get off the beaten track. It is much less visited than neighbouring Costa Rica and the infrastructure in the core regions surprisingly good. This is Central America at its most authentic and unspoilt, and for those looking for something a little different, the history, the people, the rum, the volcanic landscapes and the music will fascinate!

  • San Juan del Sur

    Kick back in a beach hammock in San Juan del Sur, just a two hour drive from Granada. Set on a pretty horse-shoe shaped bay, this sleepy fishing village hasn't lost any of its charm and the restaurants serve excellent seafood.

  • Volcanoes

    Nicaragua’s volcanoes provide a stunning and distinctive landscape, and all of them are fascinating to explore. Many of the surrounding towns and villages have been destroyed by eruptions over the centuries and several (in particular the Masaya volcano) remains active, spewing gas and ash into the air. Others, such as the Maderas volcano, cradle spectacular crater lakes, are havens for wildlife and provide excellent hiking opportunities.

Pelican Eyes

San Juan del Sur

This quirky resort takes its unusual name from the owner's yacht and is not your average beach resort, boasting its own unique appeal and charm.

Pelican Eyes is quite a large complex but feels much smaller thanks to its well-thought layout set over a hillside on a range of different levels. It overlooks the charming little seaside town of San Juan del Sur on Nicaragua's beautiful Pacific coast, and the views are excellent from any of the resorts swimming pools and restaurants.

The rooms, studios and villas are luxuriously appointed and designed in an appealing style. Service is very welcoming and friendly and although it is not located directly on the town's beach, boat trips to more picturesque, deserted beaches can easily be arranged.

Pelican Eyes also supports the local community by providing hundreds of jobs and runs a foundation which directly benefits the local people. It even has a clinic for injured and abused wild and domestic animals.
