A view of Laguna Apoyo on the way to San Juan del Sur

Panning right to take in the rest of Laguna Apoyo.

Miles of rolling green fields line the roads to San Juan del Sur.

There is still more tin than tile on the roofs that frame views of the bahia (bay).

A business opportunity lies pointing away from the bahia, from which its more sea-worthy cousins leave in search of fish.

The first block in across from the beach includes Marie's Bar and Big Wave Dave's restaurant, with big-time construction going on across the street.

Parrots are commonly used to attract customers and amuse friends.

One of the volcanos on the island of Ometepe looms in to view on the road out of San Juan del Sur.

Same volcano, fewer human foreground elements.

The pace of construction only accelerates, now across from Big Wave Dave's.

Never far from the Internet


With surfing providing the primary attraction for many visitors, the local kids are also getting stoked.
