2 Day Tour Program:

A tour of the other community projects including: macadamia processing, micro hydroelectric plant, biodiesel workshop, water purification system, and bamboo workshop.
* HISTORY TALK: A member of the community gives a talk about the compelling history of the community’s struggle to obtain legal title to our land, a description of how the community is currently organized as a worker-owned cooperative, and the various projects we have initiated to pay off our debt and improve our quality of life.
* NATURE HIKE: A 2-3 hour walking tour through the community, plantation, and tropical forest; the tour includes explanations of coffee, macadamia, and local ornamental, edible, and medicinal plants. When the water is high enough, visitors also have the opportunity to swim in a natural bathing pool.
* WATERFALL HIKE: A short walk through tropical forest leads to a majestic waterfall, where visitors can relax and go for a swim. The best time of year for this is May through November, when the water is highest. -
Tours
to Nicaragua - ˇUn Buen Viaje! is a small
group tour company leading tours in Nicaragua
with a special emphasis on responsible travel.
Our focus is on the Nicaraguan people, their
complex history and rich culture. This is not
your typical "package tour" Our travel groups
are small, and timetables are flexible. We
purposely don't set our itineraries in stone.
Instead, we recognize that our guests (and
Nicaragua itself!) run on unique schedules. As
such, we plan ahead for all our journeys then
take it one day at a time, always mindful of the
country's rhythm and our travelers' desires. To
