Nicaragua - Land of Lakes and Volcanoes - Summer tours

Had a great tour leader - Rene- who gave a wonderful insight into Nicaragua.
The itinerary unfortunately was affected by the incessant rain and Rene had to alter it as we went along. Disappointingly we could not do (or see) any of the volcano activities, and wildlife viewing was marred by the constant heavy rain.
All of the included activities ( boat rides, coffee farm, chocolate making, farm tour, local lunches at communities etc), were EXCELLENT. As were the optional things we could do (that were not rain affected!!) - eg boat trip on Lake Nicaragua.
Love the fact Nicaragua is still developing as a tourist destination and isn't spoilt (yet). Enjoyed my own time for a few days in Granada prior to joining the trip.
Felt that the last day was a bit of a "dead" day as we all waited around for airport transfers.
Accommodation
- Hotel Los Balcones was substandard- not clean, standard of breakfast and staff less than ideal. Do not recommend this place at all.
- Selva ***** Ecolodge was lovely in a beautiful setting.
- Hotel Pacaya Lodge was exceptional!
