Nicaragua - Costa Rica border crossings??
Folks, if any of ye know of the border crossings between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, I could really do with a quick answer to this. Basically, I need to know if it's possible to cross between San Carlos (on Lago Nicaragua), and Los Chiles, on the Costa Rican side. I had made a plan to take this crossing, but just read in my guidebook that it's a river crossing, in small little crappy boats. Not for bikes. It says there is a road between the two, but you need special permission to use this. I'm guessing it's military or something of that nature. Anyway, the ferry on Lago Nicaragua to San Carlos goes tomorrow, and there's not another one for a few days, so I need to find out ASAP if it's possible to cross this border (as in get permission to use the road), or I won't take that ferry. I don't have time to take the long road around to San Carlos, or take it back if I can't use that border crossing.
Has anyone taken this route at all? Any info would be much appreciated!
