Itinerary
Port
Founded in 1524 by conquistador Hernández de Cordoba, is the oldest city in the western hemisphere of the Americas. Unlike other cities that claim the same distinction, the city of Granada was not only the settlement of the conquest, but also a city registered in official records of the Crown of Aragon, and the Kingdom of Castile in Spain. Granada is also known as La Gran Sultana, in reflection of its Moorish and Andalusian appearance. On this excursion, we will visit the cultural center Casa de los Tres Mundos and the Museum of San Francisco Convent, known for its collection of pre-Columbian statutes and pottery. During the tour you will have the chance to see the colorful market, the charming streets and the beautiful churches and monuments.

About San Juan del Sur
San Juan del Sur is a horseshoe-bay beach town on Nicaragua's Pacific coast, with a hilltop Christ statue, surf beaches and sunset sailing.
San Juan del Sur sits in a deep horseshoe bay in the south-west of Nicaragua, a short drive from the Costa Rican border. In the 1850s it was the Pacific end of the route used by travellers crossing Nicaragua on their way to California. Fishing boats, bars and restaurants line the beach and waterfront, and at the north end of the bay a large statue of Christ stands on a headland looking over the town.
