SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua
the "Sarong Goddess" - Vicki Skinner's Info Guide
MISC. INFO
COUNTRY CODE
The Country Code for Nicaragua is 505 (so if calling from the states - dial 011-505... If calling from Costa Rica/Internationally, call 001-505...)

MONEY: CORDOBA & CONVERTING
As of January 29 2012 you get 31.10 CORDOBAS to $1 USD. It'll be hard to get Cordobas in Costa Rica (MAYBE you can do it at one of the main banks in Downtown San Jose), so the border is your first place to do it (as always, a bank will be your BEST place to get Cordobas)!   I say bring a BUNCH of US Dollars & IF possible, bring as many SMALL BILLS as possible (though I find it challenging lately to get $1's, $5's & $10's at banks in Costa Rica - GRRRRR).  Try not to bring anything/much larger than a $20 as it will be harder to change.  AND, usually when you give dollars you'll get your change back in Cordobas.

MONEY CHANGERS
There are official money changers "Sindicato de Cambistas" with badges on the Nicaragua side - near the Nicaraguan Immigration lines, although I heard that there may be a lot of fake badges. If you're doing this - do the math on your own calculator or with pen & paper as the money changers often have tricks to divert you & are known to switch the multiplication & division signs on their calculators.
You won't be getting a great rate from these people - BUT - they ARE offering you a CONVENIENCE - especially if you're arriving at night or on the weekend when a bank is closed - or are going to a more removed area so just look at it as a Convenience Fee you're paying!
DON'T change money on the Costa Rican side as the rate is often worse!!
THOUGH - for changing currency, I usually use a bank when possible (mainly an atm machine THOUGH, your bank will probably charge you a $2-$6 or so International Fee & remember your bank will most likely charge you a 3% International Fee on anything you charge on your card!).

If get it at the Mercado – at the "Y" on the left corner – 2 blocks in (a bank is across the street). There is a bank on the Costa Rican side of the border, the Banco de Costa Rica, but no ATM. However, you should be able to do a "retiro" from a debit or credit card & get colones or dollars back. The tellers can change colones to US dollars but CANNOT change colones to cordobas. There is an ATM (where you can withdraw cordobas with a debit card) & bank on the Nicaraguan side called Bancentro. The tellers can change US dollars to cordobas but CANNOT change colones to cordobas.
Travel with some US dollars (say $50 in small denominations), keep your belongings attached to you & WHEN IN DOUBT ABOUT ANYTHING ask a guard or another official.

MISC.
VOLCANO SURFING  -  Are you a real THRILL SEEKER??  Than Volcano Surfing might just be for you!!! http://casa-de-olas.com/activities#turtle-watching writes "Phillip Southan is the young owner of Green Pathways Tour, the company that organizes volcano surfing sessions on Cerro Negro, one of Nicaragua’s most active and dangerous volcanoes."

BOAT TOUR
We took the about 1 hour boat ride to a NICE SECLUDED beach where they dropped us off for about 3 hours & picked us up at 4pm. We REALLY ENJOYED this ride on the water to the ocean side to the quiet/practically secluded Playa Majahualt & from where we got off (in front of a HUGE private beachfront home), we took a hidden path to the Right to a tasty restaurant by Don Martin's House where I had a WHOLE fish with LOTS of Roasted Garlic & other goodies for $___ Walking between these two places we saw (& heard) at least 6 Howler Monkeys - even pretty close!! COOL!!! They were the kiosk along the Malecon/boardwalk.
HOURS: 11am-5pm.
COST: $10 per person (note they MUST have 5 people for it to run so sign up for it asap)

Community Tours in San Juan del Sur
They can take you to get to experience more rural & community tourism which is always such a treat. Next time I go I'm planning to get to Ostional from San Juan del Sur, one of their destinations. Unfortunately the beach at San Juan del Sur itself is pretty dirty (not clean to swim in) & it's not safe to just hang out solo on secluded beaches. So... I would think that going to a beach destination with Community Tours or with a surfing shuttle is probably your best bet.

TURTLE TOURS
Humpback & Olive Ridley HUGE Turtles July till December-January (it's AMAZING to be riding a wave & there next to you is one of these GIANT turtles!!). Tours are LATE Night & around $30

SURFING
There's more than 60km of beach around San Juan del Sur BUT, you MUST either take a 4WD or hire a taxi (I believe it's about $25), or take one of the "tours" (transportation) from one of the hotels or surf shops around town. I believe buses there are HARD!! Or use one of the Boat Tours for the transportation ($10).
MAIN SURF BEACHES: Playa Maderas (this seems to be the most popular), Playa Hermosa, Los Perros & Popoyo.http://vianica.com/activity/24/surfing-around-san-juan-del-sur

SCUBA DIVING / SNORKELING
A handful of rocky islets are located along the coast - about 3 kilometers offshore, creating a great habitat for many fish and other animals, which make them an interesting place for divers. There's even a sunken Russian boat, located close to the La Paloma Island. Coral reefs also grow around these islands, adding even more variety to this ecosystem. BEST SEASON FOR DIVING (for best clarity): Dec.-March & it's OK otherwise.
COST runs around $55 for a 2-tank, 4-5 hour dive (includes transportation).http://vianica.com/activity/86/scuba-diving-at-san-juan-del-sur
Neptune Watersports http://NeptuneWSN.com / 935-6823-cell / info@NeptuneWSN.com) - They can coordinate PADI Certifications, Dive Trips, Fishing Trips, Surfing Trips. They coordinate rides to Madera Beach for $5 per person. $10pp to Yankee Beach.

Check out this site for more info -http://vianica.com/activity/92/big-game-fishing

HIKING
Lighthouse Hike: The lighthouse is located on top of town’s southern headland. The hike to get there takes about 2 hours round trip. Walk to the south end of town to the main port gait. Go through the gate and into the port. Near the new building there is another gate where the trail starts. Follow the trail up the hill, fork right and keep going until you reach the lighthouse.

Port Hike: At low tide you can walk and rock hop out past the port to the southern tip of the bay. Keep an eye on the tide. Walk through the port and keep heading along the water.

Cross Hike: looking towards the north end of the bay, high in the hill you will see a large white cross. After hiking to this view point, you will have a 360 degree view of town, and the ocean, spanning up the coast and down to Costa Rica. During the dry season you can walk across the river mouth on the beach into “La Talanguera”, the beach front neighborhood on the other side of the bay. Go one block off the beach and take a left. You will come to the gate for Pacific Marlin, a residential community. Hike up this hill until you reach a “T” in the road. Go left and about 100 meters further on your left, you wil see a very steep driveway with steps going up on the side. We recommend doing this during the day, as part of the hike is steep and can be dangerous at night.

CANOPY TOUR
Canopy Tour Da Flying Frog (613-4460 / 611-6214 / 465-6781 /http://vianica.com/activity/65/canopy-tour-da-flying-frog)

VICKI'S RESTAURANT / EATS GUIDE

NOTE: ESPECIALLY in the beachfront restaurants - I found MOST to have pretty much the SAME menu plus I didn't find ONE bar that made FRESH Fru-Fru Drinks like Piña Coladas!! Though they have plenty of pinapple & coconut there!! That saved me a BUNCH of $$$as I don't do bottled fru-fru drinks!!

DRINK A NICA LIBRE: Mixing Nicaragua’s famed Flor de Cana rum with coke and a lime on ice. After one, this will most likely become your preferred drink during your visit.

EAT A NACATAMAL: This mixture of pork, onions, tomatoes and spices is wrapped in masa, a cornmeal, and then slow cooked in banana leaves. The Hotel Vila Isabella serves nacatamals on Sunday mornings.

COMEDOR: Eat with locals at the market – join locals who gather here daily for breakfast and lunch, sitting at rows of tables that are set up family style in front of multiple “comedors”. Whichever “comedor” your table is in front of is where you will get your food. The menus are pretty much the same across all comedors, offering soup, chicken, beef, pork, fish, pancakes, eggs, fruit, salad, and of course gallo pinto. Ask which “jugos naturales” (fresh juices) they are serving that day and make sure to try a sweet concoction made from tamarind, passion fruit, pataya, or other locally grown fruits. As you can imagine, credit cards are not accepted here, but these are by far some of the best prices in town, just 2-3 dollars for your entire meal.

CHICKEN LADIES: If you are looking for something more casual and inexpensive try the market in the center of town which is open for breakfast and lunch or enjoy a street-side diner at one of the “Chicken Ladies”. There are two main Chicken Ladies who prepare and sell food from in front of their homes. One is located on the market street, just east of the market, and the other is on the southwest corner of the central park and church. Chicken Ladies serve freshly grilled chicken and meat with traditional side dishes like cabbage salad, gallo pinto, and fried plantains for a few dollars, and are open for dinner only. Have a street side dinner at the “chicken lady” –one is located on the southwest corner of the central park, and another on Calle del Mercado, just east of the market. These are about as local as you can get for dinner, with open flame BBQs turning out delicious pieces of chicken, served with fresh tortillas, cabbage salad, and fried plantains. Fresh juices and sodas are typically available as well, or you can bring your own beer.

O SOLE MIO (568-2649 / 602-9321-cell) - A REALLY TASTY ITALIAN restaurant in the La Dolce Vita Hotel. EVERYONE in our gang of 5 LOVED their food - ESPECIALLY me with their Veal Picatta!!! LOCATION: 100 mts. West of the Texaco - basically at the cross/"cruz". HOURS: Tues.-Sun. 5:30-9:30pm.

COMMENTS FROM OTHERS:

We had a nice border run to Nicaragua, my son and I spent only about $300 between us, much less than the run to Bocas del Toro.

We enjoyed the great climate in December, although it will be much, much hotter if we go back there in March, according to the locals.

We enjoyed a feeling of much less crime than in the San Jose area and relaxed in an atmosphere of safety. Banks, web cafes, restaurants, stores all were within a block of the little hotel Joxi where we stayed for $15 a night for private rooms with TV and A/C, free coffee, only room temp water, not bad.

We took a boat trip to a nice beach with clear water, and restaurant, where my son and I and Vicki enjoyed red snapper and two others had cheeseburgers.

It was a relaxing trip, great company with the group of five who went!!! Blessings, Jeannie Alvin


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


Watch out Bocas del Toro, Panama - I have a new FAB place (in a TOTALLY different way!!!) (for info on Bocas del Toro go to my info site http://BocasDelToroGuide.info (I haven't been in ages [since I discovered Nicaragua!!]).
