"You went WHERE?" is the reaction most Jicaro Island Lodge guests receive at cocktail parties when chatting about their vacation. Jicaro lies in the heart of Central America in Lake Nicaragua just a stone's throw away from the colonial splendor of Granada - the oldest Spanish colonial settlement in the Americas! This week's guest, Hans Pfister of the Cayuga Collection - operator of Jicaro Island Lodge - takes us through the fascinating history of Nicaragua, its boundless opportunities for adventure (including sandboarding down a volcano!) and sustainable tourism, and what a typical journey through Nicaragua would entail. Staying true to our commitment to be different and showcase off the beaten path destination, Nicaragua is a natural gem to highlight!
