General Information

Getting to Morgan’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge in Nicaragua is fairly easy; the available infrastructure is much better than you would expect. The lodge is strategically located to the south of Nicaragua’s most important tourism destination Granada and just north of the Costa Rican border. You may choose to take your international flight into Nicaragua’s capital Managua or the northern Costa Rican city of Liberia. We can arrange an itinerary that allows you to travel safely and comfortably to Morgan’s Rock from either destination. Lastly, if you wish to arrive by air from Managua, we just opened our own private runway in December 2009 that allows you to reach the lodge in a short 35 minutes trip.
