San Juan River & Indio Mais
We rode a public water taxi down the Rio San Juan to El Castillo where we slept at the Victoria Hotel. The next day, we hired a boat driver and guide to take us to the Indio Mais nature reserve where we walked for two hours through an original (first stage?) rain forest jungle. Join us on the journey.

The exuberant nature and important episodes of history are mixed in the region of the San Juan River, which make it a highly attractive destination. Nowadays, large areas of this river that connects Lake Nicaragua (or Cocibolca) with the Caribbean Sea, are National Wildlife Refuges in which visitors can easily see a variety of species of tropical flora and fauna. In the past, this area was coveted by powerful countries, attacked by pirates and defended by heroes.
The city of San Carlos, located right in the birthplace of the river - on the shore of the lake - is the administrative center of the department. This is a city of lovely sunsets, good quality restaurants, many hotels and some interesting places in the old urban center. Boats to explore the most interesting destinations of the area can be taken at the municipal and secondary piers.
There are two interesting attractions near the city. One is the Solentiname Archipelago, which is formed by 36 islands of various sizes, some inhabited by small communities where artists and artisans work, and sometimes by nothing but the flora and fauna. Another place is the Los Guatuzos Wildlife Refuge, located in front of the Southern coasts of the lake.
A trip down the river, either if it is on a public or private boat (locally known as 'pangas'), or even on a kayak, is an amazing experience that allows visitors to reach great destinations. First is the region of Sabalos, where one can find private natural reserves and hotels in front of the river. Then, one gets to the picturesque town of El Castillo, with its old colonial fortress and local tourism services. The beginning of the enormous Indio Maiz Biosphere Reserve is located next to this town and it is one of the most important tropical rainforest conservation areas worldwide.
The San Juan continues up to its mouth on the Caribbean Sea, near which is the quiet little village of San Juan del Norte (or San Juan de Nicaragua) and the ruins of Greytown. This continues to jungle territory, with rivers, lakes and abundant wildlife. It is also another entry point to the Indio-Maíz.
There are lesser known municipalities outside the river area, in the Northern side of the department, such as Morrito and San Miguelito, with extensive coastlines on the lake. El Almendro is another one, which has beautiful ponds and waterfalls. Rio San Juan is constituted by 6 municipalities.

Nicaragua is a country in Central America. It has coastlines on both the Caribbean Sea, in the east, and the North Pacific Ocean, in the west, and has Costa Rica to the southeast and Honduras to the northwest.

SUMMARY
=======
Nicaragua ( (listen); Spanish: [nikaˈɾaɣwa]), officially the Republic of Nicaragua (Spanish: República de Nicaragua ), is the largest country in the Central American isthmus, bordered by Honduras to the northwest, the Caribbean to the east, Costa Rica to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest. Managua is the country's capital and largest city and is also the third-largest city in Central America, behind Tegucigalpa and Guatemala City. The multi-ethnic population of six million includes people of indigenous, European, African, and Asian heritage. The main language is Spanish. Native tribes on the Mosquito Coast speak their own languages and English.
Originally inhabited by various indigenous cultures since ancient times, the Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. Nicaragua gained independence from Spain in 1821. The Mosquito Coast followed a different historical path, with the English colonizing it in the 17th century and later coming under the British rule, as well as some minor Spanish interludes in the 19th century. It became an autonomous territory of Nicaragua in 1860 and the northernmost part of it was later transferred to Honduras in 1960. Since its independence, Nicaragua has undergone periods of political unrest, dictatorship, occupation and fiscal crisis, leading to the Nicaraguan Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s and the Contra War of the 1980s.
The mixture of cultural traditions has generated substantial diversity in folklore, cuisine, music, and literature, particularly the latter given the literary contributions of Nicaraguan poets and writers, such as Rubén Darío. Known as the land of lakes and volcanoes, Nicaragua is also home to the second-largest rainforest of the Americas. The country has set a goal of 90% renewable energy by the year 2020. The biological diversity, warm tropical climate and active volcanoes make Nicaragua an increasingly popular tourist destination.
