11:50 Yes many houses were abandoned. Because of the repressions!

09:45 It is not dangerous at all to walk there... Just go when it's low tide... Walked for hours...loved it!

Spent a whole night there. Looking at the stars and noone bothered me!

Wow... they really are expexting back tourists. In May, there was only a small palm tree hatched construction...

Hi Leo. Stood in front of that 'tienda' on the other side of the street. I wanted to get a 'fresco'. The lady wanted to charge me twice as much as the locals. So, I did not buy my chocolate drink. Be wary of some of these people. Many...use a Hershey chocolate sauce making you believe it's the real McCoy! 😮

Awesome video. Very helpful as I plan my trip. You showed some nice spots that many others don’t. That Sandinista monument is very profound. Do you recall around which street this is located??

Thanks for sharing! Looks like a beautiful place.

I respect your opinions, but maybe you should consider that much of the world is simply happy to survive. Seriously. That Nicaraguans seem preoccupied with 'less important' thing and maybe could 'do better' is a very European/US-Centric way of looking at things. If you ask Nicas, they will tell you FAMILY is the most important thing. Whether the street is swept or the buses are on time... not quite so important. Things work, and that's good enough for now. If someone was embargoing our economy, trying to overthrow OUR government, or if they had mined our harbors or our forests while supporting anti-US guerillas... then maybe we wouldn't be so concerned with thread counts in our sheets and if Popeye's has the best chicken sandwich. I am moving to Nicaragua soon, and I am fine with the pace of life, the lack of urgency and the benign neglect that seems so much a part of Central America. I am tired of the rat race and the consumerism. I am moving to a remote town where people still ride horses to get around, and I am fine with that! Please, be an observer and not a judge, especially if the people you are judging are good people. There is an old Spanish saying that reflects the way the US treats Nicaragua: "You always hate those you have hurt the most!" Just like Cuba, we punish the people because we hate their leaders.

Looks more like a lake than an ocean.

Reminds me of the street markets in China and SE Asia where I lived for a while when I was younger. With the fish market you either get there within the first hour of them bringing in the catch or forget it. lol Anyway, planning a retirement scouting trip shortly to Nicaragua. My retirement budget won't be a million dollars. I lived a cheap, basically glorified backpacker, lifestyle when I was a kid in SE Asia. Let's see if I can be happy doing it as an older person. It's going to be going back to basics, to say the least. Thanks for the info and straight talk as you take us along with you! All the best! ✌

I came in 2010, after I retired. I am now building a little house at bosques Del Mar,, playa Marsella. 6km north of town My home is in super low density population walk to the beach in 5 min and drive to town in 10 , once the new paved road is ready. That’s gonna be nice

Happpy birthday

It was our last time on the Pacific and the plan afterwards was to go into the mountains of Matagalpa...

Hermoso

Can you please share a source how can i contact with you?

Many people say that after Little Corn Island, which is on the Caribbean side and not easily accessible by land, Las Penitas/Poneloya is the best beach in Nicaragua.

Would like a race. From SJDS to las penitas. bet my electric kayak could beat a car on calm morning.

I’m in the del sur area. Been to Leon once. No desire to return. The beach’s don’t look very good..water is rough

All the chicken buses I’ve ridden were standing room only. I must be going to the wrong places

I swim at Marsella, not San Juan.

When you ask for directions you might want to be a little more modest. Like say excuse me/compermiso, do you know where this street might be. That way locals will be more kind to help. Not, lady where is this street at!!! 🫤

Thank you to the great people of Nicaragua for supporting my people despite the blackmail of the great powers and good luck to you brother. Greetings from Serbia.

That bird I've seen it flying free on the green areas of Managua, not long ago I saw one of them while I was on my car, it was standing on a fence near the bus stop of UNAN Managua, and in the past, like 3 years back, I saw another one in the patios of the former UCA. People gets very shy when talking to a foreigner, so they're not too talkative to you, the monkey they held is commonly called, spider monkey or mono capuchino.

Hermoso Nicaragua

Nicaragua un pais Encantador

Un pais hermoso

Thanks for the vid and tour of the town! Not sure if you mentioned it, but what was the charge to use the gym? I guess they have a daily drop in rate?

I never been there, but this is a message to the Alcalde of San Juan del Sur, need to work more on keeping the city clean, everywhere, and the sea as well....!! Some areas are nicer, but some others look ugly, to be honest!! But overall, I like it!!

Un pais hermoso

Hermoso Nicaragua

Thats a lot of nicaraguans around. I thought that san juan was flooded with tourists

Enjoy Nicaragua, it has lots of beautifully places to visit. Where are you from Leo

Ciudad granada hermoso ciudad Leon tambien sus playas ciudad Esteli Masaya chinandega y todas sus playas

Great video Leo. I'm just sitting in my office in Ottawa living through your experience.

lol @ self-cleaning beach.

Hermoso

Watching some of your older videos. Helen following behind you like a bodyguard reminds me of Trinity from The Matrix.

They saw you coming, 25 a day lol. Just have a seat, buy a couple of beers for a dollar each is all you need to do to use them.

$25.00 to rent an umbrella for the day....Those guys were so shady and trying to rip off tourists. It's sad! You can get a hotel room for the night for less.

Hermoso Nicaragua

2:11 Sidewalks are a challenge.

How come no night videos. A little nightlife would be cool.

I'm enjoying your videos.
