We all look forward to the Christmas and New Year break, a well-deserved break to disconnect from the daily routine that accompanied us for the past 12 months. Some prefer to spend it in the warmth of home, but there are those who decide to take advantage of those days to do unusual activities and discover new destinations in the land of lakes and volcanoes.
We made a short list of options for all tastes, ranging from whale watching to camping in a natural paradise.
Let's start with the ideal trip to the beach, in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, the mecca of surfing and sun and sand. Our recommendation is the El Vigía viewpoint, with an approximate height of 200 m above sea level, from where you can see the beach and unique scenery... but that's not all, because whale watching is also popular in San Juan del Sur. If you are interested, contact the tour guide, Kiana Carrillo, at cell phone: +505 8818 5250, who will advise you and accompany you to see these beautiful ocean creatures.
