Transportation to Solentiname Collectivo to and from Solentiname and San Carlos. Solentiname operates a collectivo going to Solentiname to San Carlos. It runs on Tuesday's and Friday's. The collectivo leaves Solentiname at 5:00am, arriving in San Carlos before 7:00am. It returns from San Carlos the same day, leaving San Carlos at 1:30pm, arriving in Solentiname about 4:30. Private pangas can be hired in San Carlos. They should cost between $90 and $125.00, depending on your negotiating skills. By Ferry from Grenada and Ometempe Return San Carlos to Granada: (Tuesday and Friday at 2:00 Pm) By Air with La Costeña They fly small computer 12 passenger commuter planes, but with a good safety record. Planes depart from Managua airport 1:30 pm daily, arriving at San Carlos 45 minutes after departure from Managua. And depart San Carlos to Managua 10 minutes after arrival time at 2:15 pm and arriving at Managua at 3:05 pm. You must reconfirm your trip, either here in San Carlos, or in Managua, and you must arrive 2 hours before departure, or you run the risk of standby passengers being given your seat. The cost of round trip Managua – San Carlos is $116.00, Call for reservation: Call Jorge in San Carlos: (505) 2583-0048 or 8417.6746 Managua:+(505) 2263-2142 email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Finally they are constructing the new paved road, and now is about a 5/6 hour drive, down from a horrendous 10 hour kidney breaker. Still, the bus should be reserved for harder, experienced travelers, it is much more acceptable now. Have you ever wondered where all those school buses go....you will find them on this route, and most routes in Central America. Buses leave the Mayoraro terminal in Managua at 5:00a, 8:00am, 2:00pm, 5:00pm and 6:00pm. Return buses leave at 8am, 11:45, 2:00pm, 6:00pm and 10:00pm. Managua to San Carlos in Rio San Juan driving direction: Managua to empalme San Benito take right to Juiglpa, Chontales. Keep on to empalme El Rama-San Carlos (166 km) take right to San Carlos, go through Acoyapa, then strait ahead to San Carlos. (134 km) this is the bad part under construction, here you will do run at the speed average of 35 to 45 km Los Chiles Costa Rica to San Carlos Nicaragua Generally the first boat leaves the public dock in Los Chiles between 10am and noon, when it is full, and another boat at 3pm snf 4pm. Sometimes the first boat does not depart until after 1:00pm, which makes catching the collectivo to Solentiname impossible. It is possible, but expensive to hire a private boat in Los Chiles. Sometimes, you can split the cost of a private boat in Los Chiles with other tourists. Check with Oscar at Restaurant Heliconia or Estaban jr at the dock or the Park Restaurant for more information on private boats. It is difficult to hire a private boat once you have put your name on the public boat roster. And generally locals will not be able to join in a private trip. Public Boat transportation from San Carlos down the Rio San Juan to Castillo and San Juan de Norte MONDAY TO SATURDAY (Faster water taxis in Rio San Juan)
MONDAY TO SATURDAY (slower public transport boat in San Juan river)
