Travelling to Velago
Arriving by public transport
From Managua you take one of the "expreso" buses with departure from the UCA-University. These buses will get you to the Central Park of Granada.
From the south(Costa Rica, Rivas, Nandnaime) the "expreso" buses take you via the Carretera Nandaime road into Granada.

Velago Nicaragua is operating on a demand basis - this means that we have our boats moored in the Islands of Granada and take them out for tours and classes.
We do not have an office with a person sitting there and waiting for you :-) we are a sailing school...
Where do the tours start?
For organized tours - i.e. for sailing tours and kayaking tours - we pick you up at your accomodation or a place you indicate us. We will bring you down to the lake, to the place where the tour starts.
How to get down to Lake Nicaragua?
- Taxi: tell the driver:"to the lakeside tourism area; shouldn't cost more than 20 Córdobas per person, takes you there in 3 minutes from the city center
- Bike: we provide free bikes for our guests to ge get down to the lake (situated in Calle Aresenal next to hotel Casa Capricio - please call us first)
- Walking: About half an hour – but the nice views are worth the effort and you can return by taxi.
