On Friday 8 February 2019, The Foreign and Commonwealth Office relaxed its advice against all but non-essential travel to Nicaragua which had been in place since April 22 2018.

Specialist tour operator Journey Latin America welcomes the latest advice and is delighted to announce the re-introduction of Nicaragua to its range of tailor-made holidays and escorted group tours.

Stuart Whittington, Head of Product at Journey Latin America comments, “Nicaragua's landscape of lakes and volcanoes, lush rainforest and palm-fringed beaches makes it a nature lover's paradise.  A return to tourism is a positive step and will bring much-needed respite to the local economy.”

Journey Latin America is in the process of conducting a complete review of all the services they offer in Nicaragua including hotels, transfers, car hire and excursions.

With almost 40 years of experience, the London-based tour operator is thrilled to announce the re-launch of their 10-day Signature Nicaragua: Fire, Water and Revolution holiday. This private journey visits the highlights; Spanish colonial cities, Granada and León, Ometepe Island with its twin volcanoes, Rio San Juan and the fortress of El Castillo. The price is from £2,692 per person and includes flights, transfers, good quality mid-range hotels on a B&B basis and excursions.
