The Big and Little Corn, as they are popularly known, are two magnificent hidden jewels nestled in the pristine turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Their clear crystal water preserves an incredible and unique rich biodiversity that dazzles intrepid divers and enthusiastic coral reef lovers. Both Big and Little Corn Islands are full of excitement and new experiences with an excellent combination of culture and paradise wonders. Both impressive paradises are located just 45 miles offshore from the bustling port town of Bluefields on the East coast of the country.
These beautiful islands were first inhabited by “Kukra” people, whose origins are most likely related to South American indigenous groups. At the beginning of the XVII century the Kukras saw the first arrival of English pirates within their shores, who did not come alone, but accompanied with African slaves mainly from Jamaica. The English in their attempt to take control and colonize the Caribbean established the first permanent colonies in the Corn Islands. Besides having dominion on the islands, they also had it on the Mosquito region. In 1894 the Liberal President Jose Santos Zelaya negotiated with the English the reincorporation of the Mosquito section, including the Corn Islands, back to Nicaragua. In 1914 the United States got the lease of the Islands under the Chamorro-Bryan treaty; however Nicaragua never lost the sovereignty over these two territories. Finally the treaty was abolished in 1970 during the administration of Anastasio Somoza Debayle.
Today both Little and BigCorn Islands, with a population of eight thousand people and an extension of thirteen square kilometers, are developing little by little their tourist infrastructure and welcoming people from all over the world. What makes so special and unique these precious islands are their friendly people, their unlimited natural underwater resources, their authentic cultural flavor, their vast opportunities for great scuba diving and snorkeling or simply their slow pace of relaxing life.

Muchas gracias por haber organizado nuestro viaje a Nicaragua. La pasamos super bien. Nos encanto Corn Island, de hecho estamos considerando regresar en Setiembre...a ver si lo logramos, la gente, la comida, el lugar en si es muy impresionante. Aunque los servicios de hospedaje y alimentacion son basicos el lugar y la gente hace que esos "detalles" se minimizen, estoy egura conforme vaya surgiendo y creciendo el turismo estas cosas iran mejorando, poco a poco porque precisa.
Granada, es de ensueño, para mi fue como estar un siglo atras. Fuimos a cenar a La Gran Francia, la noche antes de regresarnos a Costa Rica y la comida y el servicio ahi, son de primera. Tambien lo fueron en otro restaurante que se llama El Zaguan o algo asi. En San Juan del Sur, el servicio y la gente tambien son muy amables.
El chofer David y el guia (no recuerdo el nombre) eran muy buenos tambien y pasamos muy entretenidos los trayectos en que ibamos de un lugar a otro.
Realmente deseamos que los Nicaraguenses, en su momento, comprendan y logren aprovechar todos los beneficios que da el turismo a todo nivel.
Saludos y muchas gracias, por unas vacaciones familiares encantadoras.
I gained a lot of knowledge of Nic...:

I have just finished my explore tour of Nicaragua and want to let you know what a great and interesting time I had. The tour was great from start to finish and Julio was great at answering my many questions about your country.
I gained a lot of knowledge of Nicaragua, of its people, history and the future of the country. I also had the pleasure of meeting Carla whom I think is just a great person. As this was my first tour ever it gave me a lot of insight to the job of tour operator, and it is certainly not a easy one with managing eighteen personalities. Julio did a great job!
Thank you to all of you for making my trip so enjoyable, and I will
certainly will be coming back.
