COVID-19 Update -Popoyo Nicaragua

Nicawaves has been successfully hosting guests since airline travel returned to Nicaragua in August 2020. Although, the travel protocols require a little extra effort to get here, we have contacts within Nicaragua and Costa Rica to make getting to Nicawaves easier than ever. Our guests have been stoked since the travel protocols have been resulting in less crowded waves. As of February 2022, here are 4 key points you need to know to get to Nicaragua.

1. Fly avianca airlineS

We recommend Avianca Airlines, the only commercial airline currently flying to Nicaragua on a daily basis. Copa Airlines and Aeromexico are flying to Managua on a limited basis. Avianca flies to Nicaragua from Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C., Houston, and Dallas among others. We will await your arrival at the Managua Airport and it is a 2 hour trip to Nicawaves using our shortcut. As of February 2022, round trip tickets for the 2 and a half hour direct flight from Miami to Managua cost $361.80

• If you are not vaccinated, you must provide a negative PCR test for COVID-19 , carried out in a period no longer than 72 hours before entering the country 

  2. Fly any airline to liberia, costa rica and we pick you up at the border

If you prefer more airline options, this is the method for you. Liberia, Costa Rica is only one hour from the Nicaragua border. The border to Nicawaves is another hour and a half. All airlines are flying to Liberia, Costa Rica without restriction. This method opens up many flight possibilities for you, making it possible to fly from your nearest airport. We work with a top-notch reliable and efficient transportation service that takes you to the Nicaragua border where we will be waiting for you. The cost from Liberia to the border is $150 one-way for up to 4 people. You will still need a negative PCR test to enter Nicaragua via the land border. You can test prior to travel or we can help set this up upon landing in Liberia for $60 (please inquire).
