Home » Nicaragua » Nicaragua One to Three Day Itinerary » Day OneA trip to Nicaragua is a long one. You will probably want to try to get into Nicaragua in the late afternoon or early evening to provide yourself with a night of catching up with sleep and to shake off the jet lag that is sure to accompany your arrival. Therefore, a night of rest, relaxation, and sleep is recommended before embarking on a journey to explore the sights of Nicaragua. This will allow you to wake up feeling rested and ready to take it all in. On the first day in Nicaragua, a trip to the Mombacho Volcano, an active volcano in Managua is highly recommended. There is so much to do and see. The forests that line the slopes of the volcano are lush and thick, alive with plants and animals. The beautiful scenery makes for wonderful opportunities for pictures. You can take a tour up to the top of the volcano, or drive up to the top yourself, and walk along the outer rim. There are nature trails all along the slopes of the volcano that you can stroll through and enjoy all of the beautiful scenery as well as the wildlife that abounds among the trees. If you are feeling really adventurous, you can even take a canopy tour. This tour involves gliding from treetop to treetop while strapped into a harness that is attached to zip lines. This is one of the most amazing experiences that you will ever encounter. It is absolutely incredible to go from tree to tree, high above the ground, and see all the gorgeous vegetation and animals that live up near the tree tops. However, if you are afraid of heights, this activity may not be for you. Almost the entire tour is held at least thirty feet off of the ground, with some held up to a hundred feet off the ground. After a day on the slope of a volcano and gliding through trees, a great way to unwind is to eat a delicious dinner at the very nice La Plancha restaurant in Managua. This restaurant is a steak house that serves incredible food. The service at this restaurant is also very good. After dinner, you could return to your room and watch a television show while your dinner settles. Then, to top off the day, you could go for a swim in one of the hotels several pools to cool off and relax after a very exciting and fun filled day.
