Nicaragua: Volcanoes, colonial
cities & Pacific sunsets
Locally grounded journeys designed around real cultural moments, warm group energy, and seamless planning.
Nicaragua is where Sunset Viaje began — a country of active volcanoes, vivid colonial cities, quiet Pacific beaches, and cool highland coffee towns, often with far fewer crowds than travellers expect.
We help you move beyond surface-level sightseeing into a slower, more connected way of travelling — whether you're coming for a short escape, a longer journey, or a team offsite with substance.

Granada
Colourful colonial streets, lakeside sunsets, and quick access to islets and volcano viewpoints.
Pacific Coast
Relaxed surf towns and fishing villages where days move with the tide, not the clock.
Highlands & Coffee Country
Cooler air, cloud forests, and small communities shaped by coffee and craft.
