Hey Alessandro, wow so happy to hear that we have been able to 'uncover' the best of Nicaragua for you! Welcome to our channel too! 🤗 Definitely visit for a couple of months first to make sure it is the right fit for you. Chances are you will fall in love with it as we did! Feel free to DM us on insta or facebook if you have any questions.
Hope you have a trust fund. You can’t work in Nicaragua unless you invest $150,000 US in a business. It works for pensioners and people with investment income.
I live in Nicaragua and I can confirm that all the info you have provided about those places in Nicaragua is correct. Great video!!! I currently live in Managua but I love Matagalpa. Lovely city!
Hi @elihernandez7227 , thank you for the validation, we appreciate it! We really enjoyed Matagalpa too, the coffee scene was great and the temperature was a little more pleasant. Thanks for watching!
Your time in Nicaragua really paid off. This is one of the best and most informative videos I’ve seen. Awesome work! You guys set the bar pretty high. 😀
Hi Cynical, yes we certainly did. We spent nearly 5 months backpacking through Nicaragua and it was amazing! If you are prepared to go on the local buses you can travel basically all round the country. We'll be doing a video in a couple of weeks that breaksdown how much we spent during that time and we saw a lot for not much money!
What an amazing video. Every time Justin watches your series on anything in Nicaragua, it keeps getting closer and closer to our "next country list". Are there places you could recommend that have little to no expat community? And, do you need an international drivers license to rent bikes?
Hey Leah (and Justin), that is great to hear! First place that comes to mind is Jinotepe. It is an hour drive to Managua from there and a decent sized town with cafes, supermarkets etc... Managua also doesn't have a large expat population (that we know of)either and I'm sure there would be plenty of opportunities for english teaching for you both.
Great video guys, I'm actually coming down in April to buy a house in san juan del sur.. your video shows me that my decision was perfect for my lifestyle.
It generally starts from late May and goes through to November. It is a good time to visit, you just need to do your activities in the morning as the storms will roll in in the afternoon.
I don’t leave the coast. I live in San Juan. -Playa Marsella. The valley heat will kill you. And I don’t use a vehicle on chocolata. I sail my electric kayak 30 min. to town. Super good internet here.
It gets pretty hot on the coast too! Yes we found the internet to be really good along San Juan Del Sur as well, much better than Granada and most places in Nicaragua. We found that surprising.
@@BucketListTravellers sure it can get hot, but compared to the interior it's no contest. Returning from Rivas , the temperature change going over the mountain is obvious. The change is also noticeable from the beach to a couple of miles inland. Also electric kayaking from playa Marsella to San Juan is wonderful . No dust and quicker than dusty Chocholata road. The private housing development with a park at the beach is the best place I found . And the price for a lot is most reasonable. I love living there.
@@BucketListTravellers bosque del mar is a great place. And affordable land. I paid 20,ooo for a lot in a canopy of large trees with water and power at the lot line. 1,000’ from a calm beautiful cove. Easy to launch boat. And there is a beach park with bbq and covered elevated tables. Totally safe and can keep kayak parked on the beach. Chocolata is being paved. Bosques Del Mar is a private development with a gate and guard at the entrance along Chocalata rd.
I lived in Nicaragua for a couple years in the late 1990s, but I never did any tourist things and I didn’t live in the tourist areas (l lived in Estelí, Juigalpa, Tipitapa, Managua). The last time I visited was 2001 and those visits were just visiting friends and a college research study. I’m bring some people down this summer and I’m trying to get a handle on a couple tourist things. The only tourist information I have is from UA-cam videos like yours (thank you) and internet. All the internet stuff I find seems to be way over priced. I’d love any recommendations you have but specifically I’m wondering if you have any recommendations for groups to volcano board Cerró Negro and/or Canopy Tours. We plan to visit southern Nicaragua (Granada, Ometepe, San Juan del Sur) along with Leon and Estelí.
Hi there, thanks for watching! We've got a fair bit of information on our website also that could prove useful for your preparations: jjbucketlisttravellers.com/destinations/nicaragua/. To answer your questions, we went with Volcano Day and we were happy with their service. The tour also covered a trip to Las Penitas in the afternoon. Whilst also good generally, we were bunched in with people from Big Foot hostel and had a really uncomfortable ride back on the bus due to misbehaving young tourists. The Bigfoot staff (also young tourists) didn't manage the unruly behaviour. Perhaps we just had a bad one off experience, but something to be mindful of. For places around Granada, contact Danny from Danny's tours. He was a good operator, well priced and he took us to Somoto Canyon from Granada (video here: ua-cam.com/video/18IofnSRVdg/v-deo.html). Generally it is best to ask around once you are on the ground. This was our approach, but only useful if you have the luxury of time. All the best with your trip!
Hi Jenet, yes it is safe to swim in many spots in Nicaragua. There are bull sharks in Lake Nicaragua, but that didn't stop us from swimming on Ometepe island. Ojo de Agua is a great spot to swim there if you don't want to swim at a beach. As with anywhere, ocean currents can be dangerous. I actually saved one person from drowning at a river mouth at Popoyo beach! Check out our 'is Nicaragua safe video' for more general safety advice ua-cam.com/video/uAs4zFeYBEg/v-deo.html.
Hi Realhiphoplove24, it is generally safe everywhere in NIcaragua. There are crimes of opportunity, i.e. petty theft, particularly mobile phones getting stolen etc.., but that is about it. So just be careful in busy, crowded areas. We've seen that you've found our video on this, so hopefully this has answered most of your questions (here is the link anyway, for anyone else interested: ua-cam.com/video/uAs4zFeYBEg/v-deo.html) The Mercado oriental in Managua, San Juan Del Sur beach after dark and Granada lakeside were the only areas we were told to be wary about when we were living there.
Very astute Martin! The east coast was our big regret in not visiting and our no 1 bucket list item for when we return. Bluefields, Corn islands and Pearl islands would have been great experiences to visit.
Hi there, it depends on where you are planning to stay. There are plenty of airbnbs in the major cities to stay temporarily and real estate agents that can help you with the move for something longer term. It is also practice to walk around, look out for signs of properties up for rent and just ask around.
Tu comentario solo crea falsas expectativas, Nicaragua si es democrática dado qué haces lo que te plazca, es hasta capitalista dado que si tienes mucho haces mucho,
Hi Rolo Rickin, whilst we firmly believe in democracy, it is not completely true that non democracies are dangerous countries for travellers/expats. Singapore is an example of a 1 party state that is also one of the safest countries in the world. It is not our place to comment on the politics of another country other than our own and hence steer clear of this on our channel. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing all the things you have tried, seen, and experienced in my country! We are not facing good moments, but Nicaragua continues being a beautiful and safe place to visit and live. I really appreciate every word from you. In fact, we might not have the best conditions for everyone because it is a poor country, nevertheless, we can offer our hearts and support to the visitors. We have really good food and drinks, scenic and magic views, hardworking and warm people, green mountains, lagoons to spend a great time with family and friends, and specially, beautiful beaches in both sides of the country ❤️ Once again, thanks for your comments ❤️
Hi Carlos, thank you so much for your comments. We wholeheartadly agree with every word of yours and have experienced first hand this warm hospitality for 18 wonderful months. We miss Nicaragua dearly and wish the best for the country and its people.
I'm Nica and I visit 3 times a year for over 30 years. Nicaragua is the best it's been since the 1970's. It's safe, there is economic growth, infrastructure growth is through the roof.
Hi guys, thanks so much for watching! You guys would absolutely love Nicaragua. One place that we reckon you would love is El Pital Chocolate paradise on Ometepe island. It is so delicious with heaps of amazing vegan desserts! Please don't hesitate to DM us if you have any questions.
You guys are the best, I just got a hold of this video and thought you did very well. Thanks for promoting Nicaragua, I hope you both get to do Nicaragua part 2 one day. Cheers and keep well!
Perfect content for me. We already bought one house in Nica on the beach. I feel really good about the potential appreciation for the country. Will be investing more soon.
Hi JW JW, thanks for watching and so glad to hear you found this video useful. Nicaragua has so much potential. You only have to look next door to Costa Rica to see where prices could go under the right conditions.
So many options, I think i would love a place near the beach, but you give up a lot of things like conveniences and amenities. Maybe live in Managua for 6 months and 6 months by the beach is the solution. Excellent guide!
My wife grew up in Corinto. I grew up in Florida. Both lived in hot soupy places and hate it so if we retire in Nica it has to be in the mountains or on the beach where we can stay in the water a lot. We just dont want to imprison ourselves in the air conditioning. We may end up in another country but if we go to Nica I guess it would have to be Esteli, Matagalpa, Jinotepe…. Thoughts ? Thx for the great video !
You're welcome Banana Patch. Some of your previous questions had inspired this video! If you like being close to the water and a cooler temperature, then Jinotepe could be a good balance. The climate is milder, the city has most amenities that you need and It is only an hour drive to the pacific ocean, as well as an hour to Managua. Both Esteli and Matagalpa are very livable as well. You should definitely stay in each location for a couple of weeks to get a feel for the areas. As an aside, we were pleasantly surprised by San Jose's climate as well. It is a modern city and cooler than we expected it to be. That could be worth looking into as well and not too far aware from Nicaragua if you have family there still.
Great times, beautiful place!! And, obviously as a, as one who likes to travel around myself a lot, I think the Earth is a beautiful place. And, I'm looking forward to some new perspectives.
Hi Katrina, we used the tap water in the whole year that we lived in Granada for both drinking and washing produce and we had no issues at all. The water is potable in the main cities.
@@BucketListTravellers thank you! Do you believe the same would apply in San Juan? I heard there is a lot of chemical in the water. We were just there and fell in love!
Mind blown! 💥 You've spoken like the true Nicaragua connoisseurs that you are! 👏🏻👏🏻 *BRAVO* 👏🏻👏🏻 Sidebar: Love your t-shirts, están deacachimba! 😉😉😉 Can't really say that I disagree with anything you presented... You're likely more knowledgeable than many of us Nicaraguans given that you've travelled the country extensively and recently ✌🏻😎 Couple of points, thanks for flat out admitting your bias towards Granada ❤❤❤ La Gran Sultana is just awesome... and it's only 500 years old ❤❤❤ It takes someone who's been around to recommend Managua, it's generally ignored! I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA INCLUDE ESTELÍ-- You've got me all hyped up about it while you were visiting the northern highlands -- I can totally see you living there part of the year running your fully-furnished long-term rentals $$$ 👍🏻🤠 Warmest regards to you both 🔵⚪🔵
Hey Edward, great to hear from you!! We hope you are well. Glad you mentioned my shirt! That shirt is special on a number of levels. it was a farewell present from a good friend in Granada and I have been wanting to wear it in a video for a while! We thought we would get brownie points from you about La Gran Sultana! As you know, we seek to find the good in everything Nicaragua and sometimes that even includes Managua!😜
You're welcome fullmetalfreedom. Thanks for the feedback. We had some experience with medical services (Dentists and dermatologists) when in Nicaragua. What were you interested in in particular?
Hi Tater Tot, that sounds lovely. Getting involved in the community is a great way to make a life for yourself and family there. It is worth spending some time visiting there first getting to know the ley of the land to work out whether it is right for you. That said, we loved Nicaragua and I'm sure you will too.
One more time Jay and John you are beautiful people and congrats for the video great video once again many blessings as well 🙏 and thank you for sharing 😊 take care both of you guys 🙂🙂🤗🤗🙏🙏 God bless you 🙏🙏
A tuani video BLT. I totally agree with your comments about Esteli.There is a kind of peace atmosphere there!. but the Queen is Granada! .Thank you for this video BLT,me gusta mucho!! Safe travels !
Folks, without giving some basic prices it's all subjective opinions. I lived in Granada 15 years ago and watched to see how prices went up, but no prices....duhhh
Hi there, thanks for watching and for the feedback. We agree that a video on prices would be really helpful. You should check out Paul Daeman's channel. Unfortunately he is no longer with us, however his partner still maintains the channel and there is a lot of real estate info there.
thank you for sharing your experience it’s absolutely great knowing you liked Nicaragua i recommend checking smaller areas like Nagarote and other small areas!!!♥️
Thanks for watching Amy! We loved exploring the smaller towns and there are so many to discover. Nagarote is now on our list for next time, thanks for the suggestion!
Excellent summary. In terms of housing, r there any local architects you'd suggest to have a home custom built? I'm thinking something built of local materials with far less cement and lots of natural light throughout. TIA‼️
Hi there, we would recommend that you chat to Glen Koons, he is the moderator for the Granada expats facebook group and has built a number of houses over the years in Nicaragua. He should be able to recommend local architects for you. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Hi I’m Alberto, a disabled social security beneficiary from Puerto Rico interested in retirement in Nicaragua but I’d like to know if there’s home care services companies and if there’s medical insurance to cover theses services. If I do move to Nicaragua I’ll pay for your help to relocate. I still have some questions about where could I live besides the mayor cities in Nicaragua that best combines a laid back lifestyle with some good healthcare services. Thank you !
Hi Alberto, Great to hear from you! There are certainly a number of expats with medical needs that have retired in Nicaragua and services are available. We'd suggest joining one of the Nicaragua expat Facebook groups to get advice from other expats that have been through the process and are more familiar with the medical system in Nicaragua. You could also try contacting one of the major hospitals like Hospital Vivian Pellas to see if they can point you in the right direction of good quality home care service providers. As we aren't on the ground anymore in Nicaragua, we are not well placed to provide relocation services, but you may be able to find someone to assist you via Nicaragua expat facebook groups. We'd recommend staying on the Pacific Coast side of Nicaragua for the best access to services. All the best Jay and Jon
Hello guys. Thank you a lot for such an informative video. I am just wonder if I can count on you help while my retirement moving to Nicaragua? I never travel to Central or South America before but I am planing to take my Nicaragua trip in the nearest time. I am not interested with huge cities or anything near beaches. I am looking forward to settle down somewhere in a very little town or even village where I can have my chickens, vegetable garden and cooler weather with natural beauty, quiet neighbors, and simple style of life among friendly people to make some friends. I am Russian, American citizen and retired in the US and I wait for ages to bring my daughter and her son to join me as family and it is forever and useless expectation with absolutely unreasonable immigration law here. I am loosing a lot, benign alone and do not seeing my grandson growing up.
Hi FreeAtBirth, we recommend looking at the Miraflor area. It is a cooler area being up in the mountains and is a peaceful area with small villages with many farms. Now it is around 3 hours away from the capital of Managua and 1-2 hours from Esteli, your nearest city. We would also look around Jinotepe, which is a small city around 1 hour from Managua. We stayed at a farm just outside the city and found it to be a really beautiful and peaceful location. Good luck with your move!
Hello, I was born in Nicaragua but left at the age of 12. I would like to retire there. Which other places besides Leon are better to live in? I don't like the heat as I heard Leon is very hot since I have asthma I can't live in that kind of weather.
Hi @JChica3628, we would recommend looking at Jinotepe, Matagalpa, Jinotega and Estelli as cooler climate alternatives. There is a Matagalpa expats facebook group that is worth joining if you are interested in learning more about the area and the expat experience there.
Awesome, we are so glad to hear that you found the video useful! Yes, if you are serious about moving it is good to spend some time there to get a feel for the country. Good luck with it!
Hi there, thanks for watching. I can't recall seeing any strip clubs in Nicaragua when we were there. Nicaragua is a pretty conservative country, so it is worth researching out the laws first before investing too much money into the idea. All the best.
We had planned a 1 year trip around the world when we got stuck in Nicaragua, so were not working. Lucky for us was that Nicaragua was very cheap and we had plenty of savings to keep us going. We did start the UA-cam channel whilst here and that kept us busy.
Hi ascension futurist, thanks for watching. In Nicaragua generally, 'crimes of opportunity' like people taking mobile phones (sometimes out of your hand) are not uncommon, so it is best to be careful with valuables. San Juan would be no exception to this.
How do foreigners deal with medical services over age 65? If you have to pay cash in advance of hospital services how do you do that if you don't carry around a lot of cash all the time?
Hi Dovy, we visited dentists and dermatologists when we were in Nicaragua and paid either by cash or card. We haven't experienced hospital services first hand, but we recommend joining an expats facebook group like expats of Granada and they should be able to assist.
@@BucketListTravellers You paid cash from an ATM? I just heard about the issue of having to pay for hospital services in advance. But a person may not have the chance to get that much cash in advance.....
@@dovygoodguy1296 our doctors checkups were around US$20, so not much cash was required. Not sure how much a hospital visit would be, but the prices in Nicaragua tend to be quite reasonable. Yes we got cash out at an ATM. We recommend getting a bank card that refunds ATM fees. You can find out more about getting cash in Nicaragua here: jjbucketlisttravellers.com/how-to-get-money-in-nicaragua/
I know people who live in San Juan Del Sur is a huge retirement area. Another friend lived in Esteli he got tired of his house getting broken into monthly.
Yes there are a lot of condos around SJDS and it is a nice area to retire to! That isn't good to hear about your friend in Esteli. Did they have a dog? Best security protection!
@@BucketListTravellers no he lived in a gated community . he owns a cigar company and is married to a nicaraguan. I know a lot of people in the cigar industry who work and live in Nicaragua. They say crime is mostly non violent stole phone things like that. One thing that has been stressed to me is never talk about freedom and politics in Nicaragua.
@@andrewchristopher7138 Wow, that is surprising that he kept getting broken into regardless of being in a gated community. Yes that is true about crime in Nicaragua being mostly non violent.
It is fair to say that Nicaragua is not for everyone. It is best to stay for a couple of months first to see whether it gels with you. Thanks for watching.
@@MartineReed one thing to consider is whether you will be able to get spare parts easily in Nicaragua if your vehicle needs any repairs. with that in mind, your vehicle also needs to be less than 10 years old from date of manufacture to be eligible to import. You may be able to get around this 10 year rule if it is a classic or historic vehicle. Other than that there's a large amount of paperwork required including showing residency visa, your passport, insurance, customs declaration, commercial invoice or title, bill of landing, declaration of value etc. You must also pay all associated fees and charges for importing the vehicle. Hope this helps.
@@BucketListTravellers I have moved so much around Nicaragua, Costa Rica and panama. Currently I am in tola Nicaragua and you are welcome to come see me. My wife is Colombian and speaks a little English
@@davepeters1025 Hi @davepeters1025, thank you kindly for your offer. We are back in Oz now, but will get back to Nicaragua one day. Tola is a great part of Nicaragua. Popoyo in particular was one of our favourite spots.
Hi Yeovany, thanks for watching! We count ourselves very lucky to have been able to stay there for so long. We hope you can visit one day, it is a beautiful country.
Thank you for coming to our beautiful Nicaragua your are welcome here , you guys should visit the cost it is full of communities and there is islands with beautiful blue waters you guys shoul take a tour to I highly recommend 💙
Hi Itsel Princess, thanks for watching. Yes our only regret was to not visit Bluefields and Corn Islands, but it gives us a lot of motivation to return and experience!
I have lived in nicaragua my whole life and still live here managua is the best city. If you actually plan to live in nicaragua your going to spend your take working so you shouldn’t be worried about being to far away from tourist attractions because you actually live there and managua is the most modern city so working is easier shopping is easier because everything in managua is like 20 ride. So if your a tourist granadas the best because of culture but if you plan on living here managua is the best for living
Hi Mr Milk Man, thanks for sharing your experience. Managua definitely has a lot of conveniences that the other cities don't have. Thanks for watching.
All capital cities around the world are the best places to live. Although everything is expensive. It depend on people income. The good thing is that this beautiful country Nicaragua offers many options to all foreigners who want to live here. Viva Nicaragua jodido. L A. tierra de Lagos y Volcanes.
Se les extraña en Nicaragua,no se olviden de este lindo país que siempre les tendrá los brazos abiertos para todo aquel que respete y ame esta linda patria
😂. Yes, Jinotepe is right up there in our top 3 if we were to live in Nicaragua. Peaceful, yet all the amenities you need and an hour away from Managua and the beach! Thanks for watching.😀

Is it safe to swim in the ocean/sea and rivers? or you cannot swim there? What should you be aware of in Nicaragua (nature and more)?
Hi Jenet, yes it is safe to swim in many spots in Nicaragua. There are bull sharks in Lake Nicaragua, but that didn't stop us from swimming on Ometepe island. Ojo de Agua is a great spot to swim there if you don't want to swim at a beach. As with anywhere, ocean currents can be dangerous. I actually saved one person from drowning at a river mouth at Popoyo beach! Check out our 'is Nicaragua safe video' for more general safety advice ua-cam.com/video/uAs4zFeYBEg/v-deo.html.
*Question for first time in Nicaragua. Where is it safe? Where is it not?*
Hi Realhiphoplove24, it is generally safe everywhere in NIcaragua. There are crimes of opportunity, i.e. petty theft, particularly mobile phones getting stolen etc.., but that is about it. So just be careful in busy, crowded areas. We've seen that you've found our video on this, so hopefully this has answered most of your questions (here is the link anyway, for anyone else interested: ua-cam.com/video/uAs4zFeYBEg/v-deo.html) The Mercado oriental in Managua, San Juan Del Sur beach after dark and Granada lakeside were the only areas we were told to be wary about when we were living there.

What are your thoughts on the East Coast? I notice none of your videos cover it
Very astute Martin! The east coast was our big regret in not visiting and our no 1 bucket list item for when we return. Bluefields, Corn islands and Pearl islands would have been great experiences to visit.
my wife and I with our baby are moving from the united states next month. Do you think we will have a hard time finding a place to rent?
Hi there, it depends on where you are planning to stay. There are plenty of airbnbs in the major cities to stay temporarily and real estate agents that can help you with the move for something longer term. It is also practice to walk around, look out for signs of properties up for rent and just ask around.
Thanks for the great video....but do please work on the Spanish pronunciation! Accent marks are there for a reason :)
Thanks for watching! Our spanish will be a lifelong learning experience and we will continue to work on it!
You forgot yo Say that Nicaragua is not a democracy wich makes it a dangerous country, police and armed forces are things to be careful about.
Tu comentario solo crea falsas expectativas, Nicaragua si es democrática dado qué haces lo que te plazca, es hasta capitalista dado que si tienes mucho haces mucho,
Hi Rolo Rickin, whilst we firmly believe in democracy, it is not completely true that non democracies are dangerous countries for travellers/expats. Singapore is an example of a 1 party state that is also one of the safest countries in the world. It is not our place to comment on the politics of another country other than our own and hence steer clear of this on our channel. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing all the things you have tried, seen, and experienced in my country! We are not facing good moments, but Nicaragua continues being a beautiful and safe place to visit and live. I really appreciate every word from you. In fact, we might not have the best conditions for everyone because it is a poor country, nevertheless, we can offer our hearts and support to the visitors. We have really good food and drinks, scenic and magic views, hardworking and warm people, green mountains, lagoons to spend a great time with family and friends, and specially, beautiful beaches in both sides of the country ❤️ Once again, thanks for your comments ❤️
Wow! This comment was outstanding! *Well said*
Best regards from a fellow Nicaraguan 🔵⚪🔵
Hi Carlos, thank you so much for your comments. We wholeheartadly agree with every word of yours and have experienced first hand this warm hospitality for 18 wonderful months. We miss Nicaragua dearly and wish the best for the country and its people.
Amazing words ♥️♥️♥️
I'm Nica and I visit 3 times a year for over 30 years. Nicaragua is the best it's been since the 1970's. It's safe, there is economic growth, infrastructure growth is through the roof.
Muchas Gracias por este video tan maravilloso, Bello pais, 💕💞💓💞💕💞💓💗💓❣💝💖💗💓💓💞💕
¡Qué país tan maravilloso! Gracias por ver Alex.
Relatively close to the US. We leave Washington Dulles Airport via Avianca and arrive in Managua in five hours. Hope to visit Nicaragua soon...
That is pretty close, we wish Nicaragua was this close to Australia!
This video was so helpful - thanks guys! (We’re doing some research for other places to explore and Nicaragua is at the top of the list!!)
Hi guys, thanks so much for watching! You guys would absolutely love Nicaragua. One place that we reckon you would love is El Pital Chocolate paradise on Ometepe island. It is so delicious with heaps of amazing vegan desserts! Please don't hesitate to DM us if you have any questions.
Hell yeah!!!! I'm glad you guys enjoyed my beautiful country 💚🥰 really nice video! Nicaragua is a hidden treasure 😊❣️ I'm so lucky that I born there 💕
Thank you for watching Maria! We think Nicaragua is a hidden treasure too!
I Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience in Nicaragua 😍
Hi Kevin, thanks for watching and letting us know you enjoyed them!
Absolutely amazing country. I could happily live in Granada or León. Loved Ometepe, Mombacho and Masaya. Can’t wait to go back
We completely agree, it is amazing. The volcanoes were so awesome, however Leon is a touch too hot for us!
You guys are the best, I just got a hold of this video and thought you did very well. Thanks for promoting Nicaragua, I hope you both get to do Nicaragua part 2 one day. Cheers and keep well!
Hi Che, thanks for watching and the encouragement, we really appreciate it! We hope to do Nicaragua part 2 one day as well!
Perfect content for me. We already bought one house in Nica on the beach. I feel really good about the potential appreciation for the country. Will be investing more soon.
Hi JW JW, thanks for watching and so glad to hear you found this video useful. Nicaragua has so much potential. You only have to look next door to Costa Rica to see where prices could go under the right conditions.
Better tip the locals well if you're gentrofying
So many options, I think i would love a place near the beach, but you give up a lot of things like conveniences and amenities. Maybe live in Managua for 6 months and 6 months by the beach is the solution. Excellent guide!
Thanks Laughing Lion! There is a location for everyone.
My wife grew up in Corinto. I grew up in Florida. Both lived in hot soupy places and hate it so if we retire in Nica it has to be in the mountains or on the beach where we can stay in the water a lot. We just dont want to imprison ourselves in the air conditioning.
We may end up in another country but if we go to Nica I guess it would have to be Esteli, Matagalpa, Jinotepe….
Thoughts ?
Thx for the great video !
You're welcome Banana Patch. Some of your previous questions had inspired this video! If you like being close to the water and a cooler temperature, then Jinotepe could be a good balance. The climate is milder, the city has most amenities that you need and It is only an hour drive to the pacific ocean, as well as an hour to Managua. Both Esteli and Matagalpa are very livable as well. You should definitely stay in each location for a couple of weeks to get a feel for the areas. As an aside, we were pleasantly surprised by San Jose's climate as well. It is a modern city and cooler than we expected it to be. That could be worth looking into as well and not too far aware from Nicaragua if you have family there still.
Great times, beautiful place!!
And, obviously as a, as one who likes to travel around myself a lot, I think the Earth is a beautiful place. And, I'm looking forward to some new perspectives.
Thanks for watching Reel Happy Travellers!
The info is so good! thanks for sharing! Some day we will visit Nicaragua.
Thanks so much for saying so Ryan and Abby! You would love Nicaragua!
Can you drink and wash produce with tap water in Nicaragua?
Hi Katrina, we used the tap water in the whole year that we lived in Granada for both drinking and washing produce and we had no issues at all. The water is potable in the main cities.
@@BucketListTravellers thank you! Do you believe the same would apply in San Juan?
I heard there is a lot of chemical in the water. We were just there and fell in love!
Very accurate video of each town. My favourite places are Granada, Leon, & San Juan del Sur. Saludos 🖖😊
Thanks for watching Michelle and we hope you are well in Oz!
Mind blown! 💥 You've spoken like the true Nicaragua connoisseurs that you are! 👏🏻👏🏻 *BRAVO* 👏🏻👏🏻
Sidebar: Love your t-shirts, están deacachimba! 😉😉😉
Can't really say that I disagree with anything you presented... You're likely more knowledgeable than many of us Nicaraguans given that you've travelled the country extensively and recently ✌🏻😎
Couple of points, thanks for flat out admitting your bias towards Granada ❤❤❤ La Gran Sultana is just awesome... and it's only 500 years old ❤❤❤
It takes someone who's been around to recommend Managua, it's generally ignored!
I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA INCLUDE ESTELÍ-- You've got me all hyped up about it while you were visiting the northern highlands -- I can totally see you living there part of the year running your fully-furnished long-term rentals $$$ 👍🏻🤠
Warmest regards to you both 🔵⚪🔵
Hey Edward, great to hear from you!! We hope you are well. Glad you mentioned my shirt! That shirt is special on a number of levels. it was a farewell present from a good friend in Granada and I have been wanting to wear it in a video for a while! We thought we would get brownie points from you about La Gran Sultana! As you know, we seek to find the good in everything Nicaragua and sometimes that even includes Managua!😜
You two are rt great. Thank you. I'd like to hear more about Medical Services
You're welcome fullmetalfreedom. Thanks for the feedback. We had some experience with medical services (Dentists and dermatologists) when in Nicaragua. What were you interested in in particular?
Thanks for the information, I like you guys.I am Investigating, retiring in Nicaragua, I may need your help
Hi Lloyd, thanks for watching! We would be happy to help. You can contact us directly on instagram or facebook if you have any specific questions.
Gracias por tener presente nuestro bello país, ❤ espero vuelvan pronto 💞💞💞
¡Gracias! ¡Nunca olvidaremos a Nicaragua!🥰🥰🥰
Regresen saludos desde granada nicaragua
My wife is Nicaraguan and I’m wanting to go and possibly move there. Mostly want to build a church and help people.
Hi Tater Tot, that sounds lovely. Getting involved in the community is a great way to make a life for yourself and family there. It is worth spending some time visiting there first getting to know the ley of the land to work out whether it is right for you. That said, we loved Nicaragua and I'm sure you will too.
What they less need is a church🤦🏻, open a restaurant!
@@Fuckus Te equivocas, un lugar para adornar a Dios es lo mejor que un ser humano puede hacer, que mente tan pobre la tuya.

It was a wonderful place to be lockdown durning the pandemic. Great tips and information. You’ve put Nicaragua on our list! ~Cara 😊
Yay! Yes, we were soooo lucky to be in Nicaragua. It was a very happy time, which we'll never forget. thanks for watching Cara!
One more time Jay and John you are beautiful people and congrats for the video great video once again many blessings as well 🙏 and thank you for sharing 😊 take care both of you guys 🙂🙂🤗🤗🙏🙏 God bless you 🙏🙏

We certainly do, thanks for watching Elba!
A tuani video BLT. I totally agree with your comments about Esteli.There is a kind of peace atmosphere there!. but the Queen is Granada! .Thank you for this video BLT,me gusta mucho!! Safe travels !
Muchisimas gracias Henry! It is hard to beat La Gran Sultana! Thanks for watching!
@@BucketListTravellers Yes indeed, hope you are doing well BLT 👍
Folks, without giving some basic prices it's all subjective opinions. I lived in Granada 15 years ago and watched to see how prices went up, but no prices....duhhh
Hi there, thanks for watching and for the feedback. We agree that a video on prices would be really helpful. You should check out Paul Daeman's channel. Unfortunately he is no longer with us, however his partner still maintains the channel and there is a lot of real estate info there.
can i get the information about the house you lived in Jinotega
Hi Andrew, sure. Just send us a DM on either instagram or facebook.
thank you for sharing your experience it’s absolutely great knowing you liked Nicaragua i recommend checking smaller areas like Nagarote and other small areas!!!♥️
Thanks for watching Amy! We loved exploring the smaller towns and there are so many to discover. Nagarote is now on our list for next time, thanks for the suggestion!
Excellent summary. In terms of housing, r there any local architects you'd suggest to have a home custom built? I'm thinking something built of local materials with far less cement and lots of natural light throughout. TIA‼️
Hi there, we would recommend that you chat to Glen Koons, he is the moderator for the Granada expats facebook group and has built a number of houses over the years in Nicaragua. He should be able to recommend local architects for you. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Hi I’m Alberto, a disabled social security beneficiary from Puerto Rico interested in retirement in Nicaragua but I’d like to know if there’s home care services companies and if there’s medical insurance to cover theses services. If I do move to Nicaragua I’ll pay for your help to relocate. I still have some questions about where could I live besides the mayor cities in Nicaragua that best combines a laid back lifestyle with some good healthcare services. Thank you !
Hi Alberto,
Great to hear from you! There are certainly a number of expats with medical needs that have retired in Nicaragua and services are available. We'd suggest joining one of the Nicaragua expat Facebook groups to get advice from other expats that have been through the process and are more familiar with the medical system in Nicaragua. You could also try contacting one of the major hospitals like Hospital Vivian Pellas to see if they can point you in the right direction of good quality home care service providers.
As we aren't on the ground anymore in Nicaragua, we are not well placed to provide relocation services, but you may be able to find someone to assist you via Nicaragua expat facebook groups. We'd recommend staying on the Pacific Coast side of Nicaragua for the best access to services.
All the best
Jay and Jon
Hello guys. Thank you a lot for such an informative video. I am just wonder if I can count on you help while my retirement moving to Nicaragua? I never travel to Central or South America before but I am planing to take my Nicaragua trip in the nearest time. I am not interested with huge cities or anything near beaches. I am looking forward to settle down somewhere in a very little town or even village where I can have my chickens, vegetable garden and cooler weather with natural beauty, quiet neighbors, and simple style of life among friendly people to make some friends. I am Russian, American citizen and retired in the US and I wait for ages to bring my daughter and her son to join me as family and it is forever and useless expectation with absolutely unreasonable immigration law here. I am loosing a lot, benign alone and do not seeing my grandson growing up.
Hi FreeAtBirth, we recommend looking at the Miraflor area. It is a cooler area being up in the mountains and is a peaceful area with small villages with many farms. Now it is around 3 hours away from the capital of Managua and 1-2 hours from Esteli, your nearest city. We would also look around Jinotepe, which is a small city around 1 hour from Managua. We stayed at a farm just outside the city and found it to be a really beautiful and peaceful location. Good luck with your move!
Hello, I was born in Nicaragua but left at the age of 12. I would like to retire there. Which other places besides Leon are better to live in? I don't like the heat as I heard Leon is very hot since I have asthma I can't live in that kind of weather.
Hi @JChica3628, we would recommend looking at Jinotepe, Matagalpa, Jinotega and Estelli as cooler climate alternatives. There is a Matagalpa expats facebook group that is worth joining if you are interested in learning more about the area and the expat experience there.
Sorry to be a bit weird but this lady has a lovely charming face and manner. Feels v trusting. Thanks for the vid ❤
That is very sweet of you to say Jillybe and your nice words made Jay's day! What I'm curious to know is what you thought of the me!😜 -Jon

Guys after I watch your two video I want to move tomorrow great advised I'm retired and I'm interested to going there's for 3 months
Awesome, we are so glad to hear that you found the video useful! Yes, if you are serious about moving it is good to spend some time there to get a feel for the country. Good luck with it!
My 2 brothers and I travelled there and we are looking into open a strip clup in san juan
Hi there, thanks for watching. I can't recall seeing any strip clubs in Nicaragua when we were there. Nicaragua is a pretty conservative country, so it is worth researching out the laws first before investing too much money into the idea. All the best.
What did you guys do for jobs while you lived in Nicaragua.?
We had planned a 1 year trip around the world when we got stuck in Nicaragua, so were not working. Lucky for us was that Nicaragua was very cheap and we had plenty of savings to keep us going. We did start the UA-cam channel whilst here and that kept us busy.
I like your video
Great, thanks for watching!
While visiting some cities I enjoy watching all the fresh fruits sold on the streets
Yes, so did we! We loved all the amazing tropical fruit, especially pitaya!
How is the safety in San juan del sur? Is there pickpockets?
Hi ascension futurist, thanks for watching. In Nicaragua generally, 'crimes of opportunity' like people taking mobile phones (sometimes out of your hand) are not uncommon, so it is best to be careful with valuables. San Juan would be no exception to this.

How do foreigners deal with medical services over age 65? If you have to pay cash in advance of hospital services how do you do that if you don't carry around a lot of cash all the time?
Hi Dovy, we visited dentists and dermatologists when we were in Nicaragua and paid either by cash or card. We haven't experienced hospital services first hand, but we recommend joining an expats facebook group like expats of Granada and they should be able to assist.
@@BucketListTravellers You paid cash from an ATM? I just heard about the issue of having to pay for hospital services in advance. But a person may not have the chance to get that much cash in advance.....
@@dovygoodguy1296 our doctors checkups were around US$20, so not much cash was required. Not sure how much a hospital visit would be, but the prices in Nicaragua tend to be quite reasonable. Yes we got cash out at an ATM. We recommend getting a bank card that refunds ATM fees. You can find out more about getting cash in Nicaragua here: jjbucketlisttravellers.com/how-to-get-money-in-nicaragua/
Did you ever go to the east coast?
Alas no. It was our only regret in Nicaragua. We have Bluefields as no.1 item to visit next time.
Gracias por visitar mi país 🇳🇮❤
Gracias por ser tan acogedora Maria!
I know people who live in San Juan Del Sur is a huge retirement area. Another friend lived in Esteli he got tired of his house getting broken into monthly.
Yes there are a lot of condos around SJDS and it is a nice area to retire to! That isn't good to hear about your friend in Esteli. Did they have a dog? Best security protection!
@@BucketListTravellers no he lived in a gated community . he owns a cigar company and is married to a nicaraguan. I know a lot of people in the cigar industry who work and live in Nicaragua. They say crime is mostly non violent stole phone things like that. One thing that has been stressed to me is never talk about freedom and politics in Nicaragua.
@@andrewchristopher7138 Wow, that is surprising that he kept getting broken into regardless of being in a gated community. Yes that is true about crime in Nicaragua being mostly non violent.
How about Not live there
It is fair to say that Nicaragua is not for everyone. It is best to stay for a couple of months first to see whether it gels with you. Thanks for watching.
How about bringing a vehicle to Nicaragua? What are the rules?
Hi Martine, are you asking about just passing through the country or permanently importing it?
@@BucketListTravellers permanently
@@MartineReed one thing to consider is whether you will be able to get spare parts easily in Nicaragua if your vehicle needs any repairs. with that in mind, your vehicle also needs to be less than 10 years old from date of manufacture to be eligible to import. You may be able to get around this 10 year rule if it is a classic or historic vehicle. Other than that there's a large amount of paperwork required including showing residency visa, your passport, insurance, customs declaration, commercial invoice or title, bill of landing, declaration of value etc. You must also pay all associated fees and charges for importing the vehicle. Hope this helps.
great job you two!!
Thanks for watching!
Es León, no Léon :)

Hi Paul, glad to hear that you found it useful.
I have lived in nicaragua my whole life and still live here managua is the best city. If you actually plan to live in nicaragua your going to spend your take working so you shouldn’t be worried about being to far away from tourist attractions because you actually live there and managua is the most modern city so working is easier shopping is easier because everything in managua is like 20 ride. So if your a tourist granadas the best because of culture but if you plan on living here managua is the best for living
Hi Mr Milk Man, thanks for sharing your experience. Managua definitely has a lot of conveniences that the other cities don't have. Thanks for watching.
All capital cities around the world are the best places to live. Although everything is expensive. It depend on people income. The good thing is that this beautiful country Nicaragua offers many options to all foreigners who want to live here. Viva Nicaragua jodido. L A. tierra de Lagos y Volcanes.
I would pick San Juan
It is a popular choice and for good reason. Thanks for watching!
