Nicaragua charms with spectacular natural scenery, fascinating culture and flavorful cuisine. Spend the day exploring these delights, beginning with a scenic 90-minute motorcoach drive to D'Santos Hacienda, located on the fertile slopes of Carazo province. At this sustainable coffee plantation and private nature reserve, you'll stroll easy pathways under a canopy of giant trees on a guided walk. Learn the traditional methods used to cultivate shade-grown coffee and observe the delicate balance of flora and fauna. Enjoy lunch under a palapa (thatched hut), accompanied by a Nicaraguan folkloric dance presentation. Afterwards, explore independently or relax in a comfy hammock. Reboard the motorcoach and travel to Diriamba for a highlights tour including a visit to the Basilica of Saint Sebastian. Learn of this city's cultural roots that have earned it a place on UNESCO's list noting the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Return to port on a relaxed drive.

Special Notes:

The Nature Tour has easy trails, it is not a strenuous hike, it is a walk through the forest.
Even though this is a coffee plantation, it's is not a coffee tour, it's a nature walk through a private reserve which includes some aspects of coffee production.
