Originally from Orléans, it was at the age of 25 that I took off for South America, with light luggage, no return ticket and a desire to live a great adventure on the American continent. Argentina would be my home for over 10 years. I decided to leave my initial training as an Achat engineer for tourism, which led me to discover Argentina from north to south. In 2022, I decided to embark on a new challenge with my Franco-Argentine family in Central America: heading for Nicaragua! Today, I’m Manager of Terra Nicaragua. I never tire of discovering and rediscovering this warm, sincere country, with its untouched landscapes and far from the crowds! My tip from a local: Don’t hesitate to jump the language barrier and talk to Nicaraguans! The warmth and openness of the Nicaraguan people will leave you with lasting memories.My favorite:Take a local boat trip with Antonio and his sons to discover the lush Juan Venado nature reserve. Meet Donald and his family to make chocolate from cocoa beans. Lean over the crater of the Telica volcano at dawn, for a vertiginous sensation! A dish in Nicaragua?Tilapia a la plancha, a fish found especially on Ometepe Island. An address? Caballito’s del Mar on Ometepe Island, a small local restaurant with its feet in the sand.Wow!Don’t miss the chance to visit the rim of the crater of the Masaya Volcano at dusk: you can spend hours listening to it rumble and watching it bubble…. ...contact@terra-nicaragua.com

Where are you from? Originally from Chinandega, Nicaragua, I studied sustainable tourism and have been working as a tour guide since 2006, traveling and sharing Nicaragua’s beautiful sites. I’ve also worked as a tour leader in Central America, and I’m currently in a new phase of my career as a tour planner with Terra Nicaragua. My good plan to share!Enjoy the view of Lake Cocibolca from the top of a volcano. Eating a good « vigorón » in Granada. Drinking mint lemonade on the beach…My best memories of Nicaragua?Hiking on volcanoes, beaches and mountains, different environments but all special, the cloud forest in the north, the volcanic chain in the Pacific, the beaches in the south….a dish to recommend:A good güirila with cheese and cream in Sébaco or a quesillo in Santo TomásWhat I think is great about my country:The cultural diversity! ...contact@terra-nicaragua.com

After spending years traveling through Southeast Asia and Central America working as a scuba diving instructor and graphic designer, I decided to settle in the small village of El Transito on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast to trade my scuba tanks for a surfboard and enjoy the country’s zest for life all year round! I love exploring this beautiful country to discover hidden gems that guidebooks don’t mention, meeting Nicaraguans, and learning more and more about their culture. I’m delighted to share these off-the-beaten-path spots and stories with you today thanks to Terra Nicaragua! My favorite dish: Without a doubt, Caribbean curry lobster from the Corn Islands! Best enjoyed with a breathtaking ocean view from the top of the cliff at Melissa’s Restaurant. My favorite spot in Nicaragua: The Penas Blancas Nature Reserve, in the northern interior of the country. A mountain range with lush jungle, incredible wildlife, and breathtaking hikes! ...contact@terra-nicaragua.com
