Oro Travel in Granada Nicaragua. I am not a travel agent guy and have never used one before but they will book flights on the local airlines (the La Costeña website never works for most of us) and they can reserve a 4x4 car rental or a hotel, whatever, all without a fee. I found some things were even less expensive through them than booking directly online. Email Jacqueline, she is very helpful!

Rio San Juan Relief A non-profit group of medical professionals providing much needed medical care to the people of the Rio San Juan area in Nicaragua.
