Visiting in 1866, Mark Twain wrote about San Juan del Sur that their “bright green hills never looked so welcome, so enchanting, so altogether lovely.” Before the Panama Canal was opened, travelers crossed Central America in Nicaragua via San Juan del Sur, Lake Nicaragua and the Rio San Juan. A surfer town on a crescent, white-sand beach, San Juan del Sur has a laid-back atmosphere and fun nightlife scene. San Juan del Sur Surf Spot can provide a board, lesson and transport for surfers ranging from beginner to advanced. (sanjuansurf.com)
