Rank : 10.0 (average on 4 votes)

Subjects : The Río San Juan is a long river that connects the lake to the Caribbean Sea Cocibolca. On its banks grows lush tropical rainforest and there are many refuges for wildlife. E 'possible to make excursions in parks or forest reserves. It 's very easy to spot monkeys, various species of birds (if you're lucky, the rare Ara ambiguus, the altar green), caimans, iguanas, and you can photograph bromeliads, heliconias, orchids and many species of plants.

Recommended equipment : Telephoto, wide angle, macro lens for insects and flora, preferably light (there is not much light in the forest ...). It 'also important something to repair the equipment from humidity and frequent rain.

Best months : All year round: both in the rainy season than in the dry season it is possible to make good shots.

How to get there : From Italy there are no direct flights to Nicaragua: the fastest expected to change in Madrid and San José (Costa Rica) to Managua. From Managua you can reach the Río San Juan with a domestic flight lasting about an hour by road (not recommended during the rainy season) or by ship, from Granada and across the lake Cocibolca. In the lake there are several islands where you can stop and are also very beautiful.

Visits : I do not know if in the protected areas there is to pay an entrance fee, of course you need to have a guide who knows the trails.

Notes : The site is local NGO with whom I have traveled and discovered the Río San Juan. They have facilities where you can stay, the specialized guides and also take care to promote rural tourism and sustainable.
