Beautiful San Juan Del Sur sits on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. This surf town is very popular with expats and North American vacationers, so don’t be surprised to see lots of ‘locals’ who haven’t yet learned the language. Great place to enjoy a little sun, surf, and Spanish but beware of the anglophone influence here.

- 7 days accommodation at either host family or hotel (prices vary depending on off or on-season)
