Casa San Juan Guide is an independent, plain-language visitor and stay guide to Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, and the lakes, volcanoes and towns around it.
What this site is
The guide explains the city to people arriving for the first time: how Managua is laid out, which neighbourhoods visitors tend to use, how to choose a place to stay, how to get around with landmark-based directions, what to eat, which landmarks are worth your time and which day trips are within easy reach. Pages are organised in five groups, stay, move, eat, go and know, plus a set of landmark pages and occasional dispatches.
What this site is not
Casa San Juan Guide is not a hotel and is not affiliated with any hotel, guesthouse, accommodation business, tour operator or venue. We take no bookings or reservations, sell nothing, and accept no commissions or sponsored content. The domain name once belonged to a business; this site has no connection with it.
We also do not publish prices, opening hours, phone numbers or entry formalities, because they change and because they belong to the businesses and authorities concerned. When a page mentions a place, it is because it helps explain the city, not as an endorsement.
How we write
We aim for accurate, general information, and we keep to culture, geography, food, transport and practical everyday matters. Where facts are uncertain, such as the exact age of an archaeological site, we say so. Pages are reviewed and improved over time.
