I'm planning three weeks visiting Nicaragua next Jan. Could anyone recommend an order to visit the different parts of the country? Do I start in Managua a few days and the towards the North to visit highlight towns and points of interest or to the South? or take a plane to Bluefields+Corn Islands first? Can you go to San Juan del Norte from Bluefields? buses? plane? piragua? How about from San Juan del Sur to SJ del Norte? We really want to see lots of the country as a possible retirement place. Is renting a car a good idea, is it safe enough? Thanks again.
