Exploring Nicaragua – Overnight Tour

A two-day adventure discovering the soul of Nicaragua—volcanoes, culture, lakes, and colonial charm.

🌿 Go beyond the border. Stay the night. Feel the magic.

At Green Tours CR, we believe travel should be smooth, immersive, and deeply authentic. That’s why we created this 2-day, 1-night journey—designed to give you a deeper connection with Nicaragua’s people, landscapes, and traditions, without ever worrying about logistics.

From tranquil breakfasts near the lake to vibrant city tours, smoky volcanoes, artisan markets, and a charming colonial hotel—you’ll experience more than a trip. You’ll live a story.
