Things to see and do Bluefields

A pretty white-sand beach on an island in Bluefields Bay. The ideal place to relax, swim, sunbathe... and even go kite-surfing, for example. Please note: visit the beach on a windy day, as the sandflies (small mosquitoes) from the nearby mangroves are quite voracious. Lanchas (motorboats) visit regularly. They leave from the market pier. Allow 15 minutes for the crossing. They only leave when full, so you may have to wait a while.

This beautiful lagoon, located on the Rio Esconfra, is surrounded by a tropical forest. Here you will see budgies, and with a little chance of toucans. As follows: The restaurant located on the shore also rents horses.

The village of Pueblo Nuevo is home to some 1,500 inhabitants, a mixed population blending very different cultures: Creoles, Miskitos, Ramas, Garifunas, Mayagnas, Ulwas... A visit to the Kahka Creek reserve is an experience that brings you face to face with the indigenous peoples and the surrounding nature. The tropical rainforest offers dense wildlife (including tapirs). Contact the foundation directly to organize your stay.

A small museum that traces the history of the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and Bluefields. You'll see exhibits, photographs and objects that trace life in the region over the years...

What's more, admission is free (although we recommend you leave a donation).
