A sweet pleasant town situated in the southwest of the Nicaraguan pacific. The history of this tropical town began during the gold rush in California back in 1849 when steamers coming from New York and New Orleans first stopped in San Juan del Norte on the southeast, then sailed up the San Juan river, through Lake Nicaragua, walk or take horse carriages through isthmus of Rivas and then take a bigger steamer in San Juan del Sur.
The town still preserves some of the first wood houses built at that time and recently the city hall renovated the Central park, set up new street lights, and finished the new malecon or ocean front. In the last twelve years San Juan del Sur has seen the influx of thousands of local and international tourists as well as the arrival of international cruise ship lines. “San Juan del Sur” offers a great spot to enjoy the relaxing waters of the Pacific basin and from where you can start exploring the other unspoiled pacific beaches.
The horse-shoe shape of San Juan del Sur is lined with many local restaurants, offering especially all different kind of succulent seafood dishes including ceviches, shrimp cocktails, grilled fish and lobster. As well San Juan del Sur is apt for taking scuba diving lessons and surfing. San Juan del Sur’s nightlife is very active and some bars and pubs offer live latin American music.
