Managua to San Juan del Sur

Managua to San Juan del Sur is roughly two and a half hours south. This is the route Blink drives most often, both with passengers and with everything people buy in the capital because it cannot be bought here.

Delivery from C$184 in town and C$276 to the outer beaches. Every fee is agreed before we set off.

Travelling down yourself

  • A private car is one leg, door to door, and is the sensible option arriving from the airport or with luggage.
  • The bus route means Managua to Rivas and then a second leg into San Juan del Sur. Cheap, slow, and a real change rather than a stop.
  • If you are coming from the airport specifically rather than the city, that is its own service with flight tracking and a driver in arrivals.

Sending things down instead

  • Almost everything substantial in San Juan del Sur was bought in Managua: furniture, appliances, electronics, building materials, anything ordered online.
  • Blink runs scheduled pickups, so you do not have to spend a day driving up and back to collect something.
  • We collect from a shop, a warehouse or a seller, with proof of collection when we pick it up and proof of delivery when it arrives.
  • You can also have us buy it. Tell us what you want, we send the price and photos of what is actually there, and we buy only when you say yes.

How pickups are priced

  • The item cost and the trip cost stay separate. We do not mark up what a shop charged and we do not hide the trip inside the item.
  • Size and fragility change the vehicle, and therefore the price. A parcel and a fridge are not the same job.
  • Scheduled runs are much cheaper than a dedicated same-day trip. Ask when the next one is — for anything that is not urgent, waiting for it is the cheaper answer and we will tell you so.

Tell us what you need

Message us in English or Spanish. We answer by hand, so you get a real person and a real price rather than an automated reply.
