Directions Driving Directions from Managua Airport Coming out of the airport, turn RIGHT onto (Carretera Norte). At the first rotunda continue straight. This rotunda will have a busy bus depot and large market – don’t get confused – continue straight thru. At the second rotunda go RIGHT - onto a bumpy tree lined road. You will pass large white tanks along the right side of the road. After about 7K there will be a funky intersection – stay RIGHT – turning onto a very smooth main road going toward Masaya. You will soon pass a large ,anufacturing plant called ASTRO. Buses should say to Masaya and Tipitapa. You will come to a T-junction with a white arched building directly in front. There will be a sign that says Masaya and Granada and Penas Blancas to the left and Managua to the right – GO LEFT. NOTE: Make sure to stop properly at the stop sign here. There are always cops here. Don’t stop and ask the policia for directions – they’ll find something to give you a ticket for!! Soon after turning left toward Granada you will pass a Papa Johns Pizza. REMEMBER this – this will be your landmark when returning to the airport! At the next rotunda – continue STRAIGHT thru – do not take first right or you will be on the scenic/hectic tour through the center of Masaya! Now you should be on a nice 4-lane divided highway… At the next rotunda – take a hard right – otherwise you will drive all the way in to the city of Granada. This rotunda is a bit different than the others as it has a bike path with yellow markers. There should be a big factory on the right shortly after. You are now heading toward CATARINA on a smoothly paved 2-lane road. Look for a sign that says CATARINA 6K. You will pass Pueblo Blanco Artist Villa. Upon arriving in Catarina you will see a sign for the Mirador on the left – make note of this as you may wish to come back to see the Volcanic Lake. After you pass through Catarina (a village noted for its beautiful plants), you will pass through the small towns San Juan de Oriente (a village noted for its beautiful pottery), and then the small towns of Diria and Diriomo. Stay on the main road toward NANDAIME. As you approach Volcan Mombocho you will come to a rotunda of sorts – more like a traffic triangle – stay right and then take a hard RIGHT again – otherwise you will end up in Granada. As you approach Nandaime, you are approaching the Pan American Highway. When you reach the Pan American highway you will come to a Y junction
with a big bible in the median. Stay left here and turn LEFT (south)
toward NANDAIME. You are on the PAN AMERICAN HIGHWAY! Top off
your gas here… About 19 kilometers past NANDAIME, you will cross over the PUENTA OCHOMOGO BRIDGE and about 40 kilometers further you will reach RIVAS. Upon arriving in RIVAS you will turn off the PAN AMERICAN Highway. Should you arrive at a roundabout on the PAN-AM highway in Rivas, you’ve gone too far – However, if you intend to gas up and buy supplies, perfect! Go straight through the roundabout and find the Pan-American Grocery Store just behind the Gas Station on the right hand side. Gas Station also sells very good fried chicken and wine… From RIVAS to TOLA to LAS SALINAS Pass the Hospital in Rivas as you head toward TOLA and watch the speed bumps! After crossing a one-lane bridge, you will be in TOLA. In TOLA you will pass a large church (on your right). Beyond the church is a public square (a good place to buy fruits and veggies). At the far end of the square is a stop sign and to the left a police station. Turn left at the police station – (make sure your seatbelts
are on!) You will now be on a dirt road and will have about 30-45 minutes left to travel. Stay straight on this road. You are ultimately heading for the town of LAS SALINAS. You will pass the gated communities of: Iguanas, Los Perros, & Rancho
Santana. You will pass thru several small villages. You will pass thru the village of Limon with signs to Playa Santana. Keep straight on the main road to LAS SALINAS. You may see signs for Playa Popoyo and Magnificant Rock – do not turn here! When you arrive in LAS SALINAS look for a blue & white school
with a small library There is a restaurant and a bus stop along the river here. At the top of the small hill turn LEFT and cross over the bridge. Just beyond the bridge the road is paved again (but full of potholes!) As
you are driving, look to the right and you will soon see the white
villas of Two Brothers perched on the highest hill. Drive past the
The Holy(Holly)Ground Bakery, round the bend, and take your first
right onto BEAN HILL ROAD. Take your first left to continue on Bean
Hill Road. Curve right at the well house. Pass Popoyo Paul’s
on the left and continue up the hill. Pass through the gates and
pull into the parking spaces in front the villas. You’ve made
it! The entire journey is roughly 160 Kilometers and should take approximately three hours. Enjoy the journey! Stop and buy vegetables or cold coconut milk. Try out your Spanish and ask directions to the nearest town – “Donde esta Rivas?” Listen for howler monkeys as you cross the riverbeds. Make the journey and enjoy the adventure!
