Bluefields

This capital of the "South Atlantic Autonomous Region" is located on the Caribbean shores of Nicaragua, 178 miles (315 km) from Managua. You can get there by air (1 hour) with 2 daily flights operated by La Costeña and Air Alantic (16 to 26 seats) or by land driving 6 hours to El Rama and from there by river boats cruising the Escondido river for 3 more hours. Typical Caribbean town with a mixed culture and island flavor. Nature presence is strong all around this town with wide rivers and small jungle canals. Still undiscovered by massive tourism, it allows the discretionary ecotourism traveler an opportunity to see very different cultures like Misquitos, Jamaican descendants, original Sumus and Ramas Indian tribes in their natural habitat.

Highlights:

"The jungle canal from Bluefields to Pearl Lagoon". 2 hours ride with a fast outboard engine panga (local boat) for 6 people (average capacity).
"The Pearl Keys" out in the Caribbean ocean (one complete day). 30 minutes from Pearl Lagoon. Fishing and snorkeling.

These beautiful and unspoiled islands are the perfect place for snorkeling, scuba-diving facilities are non-existent.
Trips are organized for small groups only.
