- Meine Empfehlung
San Carlos is a small but hectic port town. Located at the mouth of the River San Juan, this is where the journey truly begins. From San Carlos, it is possible to take day trips to places of amazing natural beauty or to various beautiful islands. A truly “off the beaten track” destination.

At this point along the route, you have two travel options: boat or bus.
Buses are a practical option, as they leave to San Carlos every day. You will pay 220 córdobas for the eight-hour journey. Managua is easy to get to from Granada. More buses leave from Managua to San Carlos every day than from Granada, making it a good connection option.
Taking this journey by boat is a cheaper alternative, at around 150 córdobas. However, the boat only leaves once a week, on Mondays. It sets sail from Granada in the evening, delivering passengers to San Carlos by the next morning. This makes for a very enjoyable ride, since the boat sails off during sunset. Bring a fleece and something to cover you, like a blanket or a sheet. Be prepared to sleep on a bench (or bring a hammock!). During the boat trip, you can buy relatively inexpensive food, roughly in the price range of 50-120 córdobas.

Hostal Seledith and its kind owner offer a safe and pleasant guest house for your San Carlos stay. This hostel can’t be booked online, but it is unlikely that it will be full. Therefore, it is totally fine to simply show up and pay your 500 córdobas for a two-person room.
To get there: Hostel Seledith is located at around a 5-minute walk away from Muelle San Carlos. This is where both the port and bus terminals for San Carlos arrivals are located. Since the two stations are opposite each other, you will need to turn left if coming out of the port, or right if out of the bus terminal. You want to go towards the Malecon. For this, you will be walking through the market. Keep walking straight on the main road through the market, then pass the Malecon. The road with Hostel Seledith will be the second to last street on your right. It is located right on the corner. You can recognise the building by its beautiful blue-white colour and pretty patio.

Wir sind seit November 2021 Low Budget mit unseren Backpacks unterwegs.
Neben den typischen Sehenswürdigkeiten versuchen wir immer wieder ab der Pfade sogenannte Hidden Gem’s zu entdecken.
Längere Aufenthalte in einem Land geben uns diese Möglichkeit wie auch mit den Einheimischen in Kontakt zu kommen bzw. Freundschaften zu schließen.
