TOUR INFO

Here's what to expect on your visit:

Our 2 day, “Discovery Tour” is simply the best way to experience the growing timber and agriculture industry. Demand is high for our tours and space is limited, so check with us before making any travel arrangements. You book your flight, you book your choice of hotel, and we’ll do the rest. In all cases you will want to fly into the Managua, Nicaragua International Airport (MGA airport code). Our plantation areas are a 2 hour drive from the Managua airport and our discovery tour includes meeting you at the Camino Real Hotel, and helping you make return ground transportation requirements back to the airport. We have great food here in the San Juan Del Sur area (where the plantations are) and if you choose to dine with us you won’t be disappointed.

When visiting our plantations please be mindful that some areas have steep terrain. If you have trouble walking or hiking then you may want to stay in our vehicles, as you’ll still be able to see much of what everyone else will see. If you are an adventurous type, you will be able to explore and really get a chance to see a lot of trees up close throughout the plantations. Please view our release of liability before signing up for any of our tours.

We do have some flexibility on how to visit us and we do try to offer one day showings. We get many requests from people who visit the area and who are interested in a one day tour. We understand that sometimes two days and two nights may be more time than those with busy schedules can spend away. We will gladly work out a time frame to accommodate a one day tour. Please contact us directly and we will make arrangements accordingly.

Can we bring children with us on the tour?

Who is responsible for the cost of accommodations?

All travel expenses are to be paid by the guest. Cancellation policies vary with the different hotels and transportation companies.

How far in advance should we reserve a spot on a tour?

Try to book your Discovery Tour early to avoid disappointment because the availability is limited.

Do I need a passport for traveling to Latin America?

When traveling outside the US, you will need a valid passport with at least six months before it expires. The expiration date should not fall on a date during which you will still be abroad.

What sort of weather should we expect?

If your Discovery Tour is between the months of February and May, you will be visiting Latin America during the dry season. Temperatures during this time can easily reach 90 degrees and warmer. Please be sure to bring a hat, shorts, and sunscreen. 

From June to November is the rainy season, during which we can receive rain almost on a daily basis. While sometimes the storms can be large, they tend to pass quickly, and things dry up soon after the sun shines again.
