Masaya to San Juan del Sur

Masaya sits between Managua and Granada, so the run south to San Juan del Sur covers much the same road as the Granada route. What makes this one different is that most people are here for the volcano or the market, and both fit into a travel day rather than needing their own.

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

Making it one day instead of two

  • The volcano and the craft market are the two reasons people stop in Masaya, and both work as a stop on the way south rather than a separate excursion.
  • If you want to stop, say so when you book. A driver holding for an hour is a different arrangement from a straight transfer and needs to be priced as one.
  • The market is the practical one to combine — hammocks and pottery are exactly the things you do not want to carry through a bus change.

The journey itself

  • Paved the whole way, joining the same southbound road as the Granada route.
  • By bus it means getting to Rivas and changing there for San Juan del Sur. Cheap, and a change with bags either way.
  • Allow more time than the distance suggests if you are travelling on a market day.

Booking it

  • Tell us the pickup point in Masaya, where you are staying in San Juan del Sur, passengers, luggage and whether you want to stop.
  • Priced per vehicle rather than per head, agreed before you travel.
  • Anything bulky you buy along the way is fine — say roughly what and we will send something it fits in.
