...and visit us!

The easiest and way to visit us is via Rio San Juan by public boat. But you can also take a public bus or arrive by car. And here is how it goes!

River access:

Public boats depart just a few meters south from the bus terminal in San Carlos. When buying the ticket you have to tell that you will get off at "Grand River Lodge". After 1 to 1,5 hours scenic boat ride you arrive at our mole. From here it is 5 minutes walking uphill to the cabins.

Last boat departure from San Carlos: 4.30 p.m.

Road access (by bus):

In San Carlos hop on one of the buses which go to "Sábalos" or "Buena Vista". You will pay the ticket during the ride. Tell the assistant to stop at "Los Ranchos". The ride can be a bit bumpy depending on road conditions. For your orientation: When you arrive at the village "La Esperanza", there is about a 5 minutes ride left. A huge gate on the right will show you the entrance. Once you get off, just turn in to the dirt road (direction south to the river). After a 10 minute walk you will arrive at the cabins.

Last bus departure from San Carlos: 7 p.m.

Taxis would also bring you from San Carlos to Grand River Lodge. The prices can vary between 1.000 and 1.500 Cordobas.

Road access (by car):

Coming from Managua you don't have to enter San Carlos. At the roundabout called "La Argentina" you will take the second exit to "Las Azucenas". Follow the signs to "Las Azucenas" turning to the left after a 10 minute ride. From here follow the road to "Boca de Sábalos". When passing the village "La Esperanza" it is only 3 kilometers more to go. Where you see a few houses you turn into the dirt road to the right. A huge gate with the letters "Grand River Lodge" will tell, that you are right. You arrive at the cabins after one kilometer, where you can park your vehicle.

You don't need 4 by 4, but especially in rainy season we recommend a high tire level.
