I can’t say enough good things about Pure Nature Private Tours. We began our day very early with our driver Emanuel to get to the border before the big lines. I had read other reviews for a similar tour with another company and the people were confused and left to figure out the border process on their own. Not us. We had the help of Emanuel, Carlos, and on the other side Berman (Bomb), our Nicaraguan guide and made it across with little waiting and no hassles. He also was our official photographer and took amazing photos! We began with breakfast at the most amazing cafe. We then made our way to Lake Nicaragua in Granada and took the most beautiful ride through the jungle waters, getting up close and personal with the most adorable spider monkeys. We spent some time in the town itself, learned some the rich history, and saw some of the traditional dance celebrating La Purisima. We also had a fun chocolate experience at the local chocolatier. We had a delicious traditional lunch. Due to the increased volcanic activity we could not go to see that part, however Bomb was able to get us to the Christ of the Mercy instead. The views of the beach town below, the serene atmosphere, it all felt very special. We then traveled into the fun beach town before heading back to the border. Such a pretty place! Nicaragua and the Nicaraguan people we met were so welcoming. It felt safe and we would definitely make plans to go back and spend more time exploring this beautiful country.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this incredible review! We are truly delighted to hear how positive and seamless your experience with Pure Nature Private Tours was. We’re glad that starting early with Emanuel helped you avoid the long lines at the border — and even happier to know that Emanuel, Carlos, and Berman (“Bomb”) made the entire border-crossing process smooth and stress-free. Bomb will love hearing that his photography skills helped capture your memories! It sounds like you had an amazing day exploring Nicaragua — from the beautiful breakfast spot, the scenic boat ride on Lake Nicaragua, and encounters with the playful spider monkeys, to discovering Granada’s charm, culture, and traditions like La Purísima. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the chocolate experience, the delicious traditional lunch, and the alternative visit to Christ of the Mercy due to volcanic activity. That viewpoint truly is special. We’re also grateful to hear that you felt safe, welcomed, and inspired to return and explore even more of this beautiful country. Nicaragua and its people have so much to offer, and it means a lot that you left with such a positive impression. Thank you once again for choosing us and for sharing such a thoughtful review. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures!
