Nicaragua Family Vacation - Luxury Travel to Central America - Ker & Downey
Rancho Santana

More Details

Your Nicaragua Family Vacation kicks off in Granada. Stay at Hotel Plaza Colón, a beautifully refurbished colonial house overlooking Granada's Central Park.

As such, you will tour the fascinating history and architecture of the colonial city of Granada (the oldest colonial city in the Americas). Additionally, participate in a creative chocolate workshop. 

Finally, you will peer into the glowing lava-filled cone of Masaya Volcano at sunset. Standing at the edge of an active crater at night is a truly unforgettable experience even without a perfect view of the lava.

Your Nicaragua family vacation then continues along the shores of Lake Nicaragua. Indeed, Jicaro Island Lodge provides the perfect hub on any journey in Nicaragua.

Take advantage of the lodge's amenities, perhaps just relaxing by the pool with stunning views of the lake and surrounding volcanoes. Or, go birdwatching and explore the archipelago by boat.
One day, however, has been set aside for a sunrise or sunset kayaking excursion.

Before departing for the coast, you will have the chance to explore the Mombacho Volcano on a guided hike along the Crater Trail. Several howler and white face monkeys, sloths, and the endemic Mombacho salamander make their home here.

Then participate in a fun Canopy Tour consisting of 11 zip lines and 17 platforms.

Finally, transfer two hours to Nicaragua's beautiful Emerald Coast for beachside bliss. Spend four days enjoying the plethora of activities available at Rancho Santana and the Emerald Coast. Surf lessons, snorkeling, sand boarding, pickleball, horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, yoga, kids club, monkey scouting, and birdwatching are just a few of the favorite activities and amenities here.

Guests can also experience turtle hatchings on The Ranch’s own Playa Escondida, go boating, fishing, and golfing, or just indulge at the spa.
