A haven from the heat.
Just what I needed, a haven from the heat in Nicaragua!

Salcar's wonderful big casa, with its wide, wide verandahs/patios was so cool and relaxing - so cool and relaxing that I didn't want to leave and face the heat on the road, again, so stayed an extra day.

It's such a pleasure staying here. I'd recommend it highly to all travellers. Great accommodation, great surroundings, great host, great WiFi and great ambience. What more could a weary traveller want?

Do yourself a favour - stay at Salcar's casa when in Nicaragua! You won't regret it, believe me.

Well, 2 of the 3 would be Ham and Em, who I had the good fortune to meet in Rio Grande, Arg. Here I've been back at work over a year now, and they are still holidaying around. I'm jealous. Stop in San Antonio on the way north. Really.

Massive Thanks
to Salvador for your fantastic hospitality and wealth of information about equipment, repairs and onward routes. All the very best with your trip to the unknown and all your projects and enterprises. I hope to be able to return the favour one day when you come to visit the UK or Dubai.

Bueno Suarte and Muchos Gracias!

Sal,

I'll be traveling through Central America from Costa Rica to the US. I will be around the Managua area in late July and need a place to stay. I'm a 22 year old male, just graduated college and looking for an adventure. If your looking more in depth you can email me at davidschwietz@creighton.edu.

Peace.

Dave

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
