Discover an incredible natural gem in the Madriz department of Nicaragua with our exciting excursion to Somoto Canyon from Managua!
Description
We'll kick off this adventure by picking you up at your hotel in Managua bright and early at 6 am. Get ready for an incredible excursion that will lead us to one of Nicaragua's most awe-inspiring natural treasures: the Somoto Canyon.
During the comfortable minibus ride, we'll make a quick stop to rest and, if you'd like, you can have breakfast to fuel up for the day ahead. After approximately 4 hours on the road, we'll reach the breathtaking gorge, where a knowledgeable guide will be waiting to give us the equipment for our adventure.
Our first leg of the journey involves a fun 1.2-mile (2 km) hike through knee-deep water. Then, we'll board a boat and enjoy a scenic ride to the entrance of the Somoto Canyon.
Once we arrive, you'll have 3 options to choose from: marvel at the spectacular viewpoint, take a refreshing swim in the Coco River, or ride on a giant floatie for 1,312 ft (400 meters) down the canyon. Which option will you go for? No matter what you decide, you're guaranteed to have an amazing time!
By 2 pm, we'll conclude our adventure and treat ourselves to a well-deserved traditional lunch that will include rice, beans, salad, and chicken.
To wrap up our excursion through the Somoto Canyon, we'll head back to your hotel in Managua, arriving around 7 pm.
