Day1
Arriving in Nicaragua you will land at Managua International Airport Jose my English speaking driver will be waiting for you. If your flight arrive before 12md you can decide for an immediate transfer to San Carlos using COSTENA evening flight Managua San Carlos going at 1.30pm. if flight coming in after or afternoon I suggest you go to Granada with my FABIO..On the way I recomand a stop, at Massaia artisan market or Going in Crater of Mombacho Volcano, Catalina, Laguna de Apoyo... Also why not a canopy ride on a volcano , Dinner will be in Romantic Granada ( Dinner is not include ...as experience show than guests prefer this part open... all depend what you wish ...Due to transfer, Tours and stay in best hotel around there is an extra cost for this Granada stay ($80 per person ). In my opinion GRANADA is a must when coming to Nicaragua There is a lot of very nice restaurant in town and very reasonably price...Our best Choice EL SAYANG located behing Cathedral , Night at Hotel COLONIAL or ALHAMBRA or La mansion in the historical center of town ....
If flight arive in late evening or at night you beter sleep at Best Western Las Mercedes close to airport relax there and fly following day with La costena Airline . Hotel Las Mercedes is also a nice place with Bar, Restaurants, , Swimming pools.. Wish fun that night? Disco, Casino Night life are 30 minutes away.....
Day2 Tarpon Fishing

In San juan river it would be a major surprise for me if you have to wait long before the first tarpon hit, fishing will stop at dark. We will have our Dinner at lodge or in town at restaurant EL MIRADOR or GRANADINO or LOS RANCHITOS we will look for the busy place of the day.., you will rest in your clean and comfortable room with private bath at my Fishing lodge.
