Sitting back to watch the sunset is one of nature’s most uplifting experiences. Here in Nicaragua opportunities to relax while taking in the changing shades of orange and red move across the sky are everywhere. Here are our favorite places to watch the sunset that will certainly take your breath away!

Pacific Coast

You can either be based in a town like San Juan del Sur with its colorful buildings and horseshoe bay or you can be staying in a beach hotel, either way watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean with a cold drink and a few nibbles is a memorable and thought provoking experience. I can recommend the beach at Poneloya for watching Pelicans low flying over the Pacific rollers against the backdrop of a setting sun.

Ometepe Island

Charco Verde lies on the western side of Ometepe Island and is a great place to watch the sunset over Lake Nicaragua with the active Concepcion Volcano looming behind you. You can take a dip in the Lake at sunset or just sip a cold beer on the hotel terrace – sublime serenity!

Telica Volcano

For a truly extraordinary sunset experience you can be standing near the rim of an active volcano watching the sun go down over the Maribios chain of volcanoes. You will feel on top of the world!
