San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

San Juan del Sur was officially founded in 1852, largely due to the influx of foreign travelers on their way to California during the Gold Rush. Although first considered a fishing village, and later, a port, San Juan has stayed true to its roots as a stopping place for tourists and travelers. Today, San Juan’s economy relies chiefly on tourism and foreign investment, although much of the population has retained their generations-old vocations of fishermen.

San Juan del Sur has seen a rise in economic development in recent years becoming one of the most popular travel and vacation destination on Nicaragua's Pacific coast and offers a lively mix of local culture and tourist amenities. Direct access to a wide variety of activities such as surfing and fishing along with beautiful beaches and exciting nightlife makes San Juan del Sur the ideal location for your Nicaragua vacation.
