gendary spots like Playas Hermosa and Ma deras, you can chill out in your beachfront
hammock paradise.

kayak to lost coves and chill out in cool travelers' enclaves on the edge of the wild.
Go Beyond
There are lost beaches, tough-and-ready inland towns, unique windows into rural Nicara-

caw madly from the forest canopy.
