Rivas has its fans - people say it's authentic and lively with some wonderful buildings
downtown. Maybe. But with the beaches, lake and Ometepe beckoning, few travelers pause
here long enough to find out.
Rivas' strategic position on the only sliver of land between the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans made it an important spot back in the colonial days. Now, with all the development
on the southwestern beaches and Isla de Ometepe, it is once again an important trading and
transport hub.
