Went on a trail ride down to the beach and back to the ranch. What an amazing time we had. First time riding horses for all of us including our little ones. The staff and Blue made us all feel right at home and felt really safe at all times. The views were so beautiful! Loved everything about our time there from dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls, to seeing monkeys on our trail ride, to our conversations with the staff! And the professional photos that were taken came out so good. Highly recommend! Our guides were so patient with our little ones and very helpful! A must do if you’re ever down in San Juan de Sur! Thankful for the memories we get to keep for our whole family!

Playa el Coco is one of the most beautiful beach of Nicaragua.The beach is sandy, there are not rocks, water is warm. Be aware of the stingrays when the water get cold, fortunately, it happens a few times during a year. My family and I have live there for 14 years. Info of the houses you can rent find it at CASAS DE VACACIONES on facebook.
