Friendship Tour to Nicaragua
Join Casa Baltimore-Limay for a Friendship Tour to Nicaragua
Late December through Early January
Casa Baltimore/Limay announces a guided trip to Nicaragua from late December through early January. This delegation of friendship to the people of Nicaragua will last 12 to 14 days. The exact dates of the trip will be jointly determined by those who commit by the end of September. The group will spend at least 5 days in Baltimore's friendship community, San Juan de Limay, and will also visit other points of interest in Nicaragua.
While in San Juan de Limay, delegation members will stay in the homes of local people in order to experience their daily lives and to form friendships that are likely to last after the trip. The group will visit people and projects funded by Casa Baltimore/Limay, like college scholarship students, a childcare center, businesses benefiting from microcredit, and animal projects in rural villages.
While in other parts of Nicaragua, we'll work to include your interests within our travel itinerary. These might include visits to major cities such as Managua, Granada, Leon or Estelí; and/or time in the countryside or the beach. And they might include visits to special projects in your area of interest. The leader is Marilyn Carlisle, who is fluent in Spanish and has led similar trips in the past.
The cost of the trip is only $1600; that includes international airfare, three meals a day, lodging, in-country transport, interpreter, and a donation toward projects in Limay. We will do some group activities in advance of the trip, to raise part of the funds needed. Nicaragua is a safe country, you should take the same precautions as you would in the US. Our delegations have successfully been going there for over 26 years.
