Rancho Santana

A 2,700-acre resort and residential community on Nicaragua's Pacific "Emerald Coast" at Tola, about two hours from Managua, with five beaches, more than sixteen miles of trails through tropical dry forest and along the cliffs, and a turtle sanctuary on its hidden beach where green turtles nest and hatchlings are released at half past five under red lamps from August to October — the seventeen-room Inn on Playa Santana includes breakfast and a guided monkey-viewing drive. Booked for you by an affiliated travel advisor.
