The relations are 5 star, with foreigners and locals really trying hard to make the area better and prosperous. The examples of working side by side are so lengthy, it is hard to remember them all.

What is the travel time to the main airport in Managua? Travel time to Leon, the second largest city?
The drive time from the Managua international airport to Playa Tesoro on the Pacific Ocean is one and a half hours, give or take 15 minutes. This is possibly the most direct route to any beach in Nicaragua from the airport. The newly paved highway is the Pan American highway, and is very well maintained. This highway is the primary route for commerce from Mexico to Panama. For instance, Costa Rica is the next country south and is approximately 4 hours drive away.
Leon city is Nicaragua’s second largest city at about 350,000 people. It takes 38 minutes to drive to Leon from Tesoro, give or take 5 minutes. The fastest way is to take the ” Tesoro coastal highway”: that being 7 kilometers down the beach at low tide. An amazing drive. One of the oldest cities in all North, South and Central America, Leon boasts amazing adobe homes, 14 churches, volcanos, 14 universities and much history dating back to the origins of the Spanish conquistadors arriving in 1512.
