    Tips

    May 16, 2024

    The border control to Nicaragua is a bit more complicated and can take a lot of time. Van travelers in particular often say that entry can often take several hours. For cyclists, it is a bit easier. For us, it only took about 45 minutes because we were there first thing in the morning (8 a.m.).

    Process

    At the first station (directly at the roundabout coming from Honduras) you get the customs papers that you have to fill out. At the second station, passport control takes place. It is advisable to arrive early here (8 a.m.) before the tour buses arrive. At the third station, customs control takes place. Here you have to send all your luggage through a scanner.


    ATTENTION! For travelers with drones. The import and possession of drones is prohibited in Nicaragua. So don't get caught. We were able to smuggle ours in and out of Nicaragua. We give no guarantee here and do not recommend doing it! In the worst case, it will be taken away from you and you will pay a fine.

    The last stop is at the second roundabout. There, an official checks everything again (stamps, customs papers). He also takes the latter with him.
