Can You Handle It?
To join our trip you will need to present a negative covid test at most 72-hours prior to joining our group. This is also required to enter Nicaragua.
We're taking over several hotels in Playa Maderas, Nicaragua. This is a remote beach town about 20 minutes away from San Juan Del Sur the closest port town.
Selina Maderas (Maderas 200mts north of Empalme Marsella San Juan del Sur, 48600, Nicaragua)
Villas Playa Maderas (10 Km north, San Juan del Sur 48600, Nicaragua)
The trip officially starts 6pm on Dec 27th.
We recommend you fly into Managua Airport (Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport, MGA).
If you're flying from NYC we recommend booking directly through Avianca airlines, and flying Dec 27th at 3:05am from JFK arriving at 8:40am to MGA.
If you're flying from Miami we recommend booking directly through Avianca airlines, and flying Dec 27th at 1:45pm from MIA arriving at 3:20pm to MGA.
We'll have SYB leaders at the airport to greet you and the SYB bus will have two departures, the first around 10-11am and the second round around 4-5pm.
Departure will have two options, an extremely early morning bus at 2:00am, arriving at the airport at 4:30am and the other leaving at 8:30am, arriving at the airport at 11am.
These are subject to change as we'll calculate everyone's flight times to make the best transfer schedule.
Do not worry if you get different flight times, we'll set you up with transportation services that are safe, reliable and fairly priced.
We'll ask you 4-weeks prior to the trip to 'check-in' within the booking account where we collect your flight info, passport info, etc.
We'll be doing some adventures throughout this trip that require a bit of self awareness of the surrounding area. Remember this is the jungle.
Dehydration is a common cause of feeling unwell. We require everyone to bring their own refillable water bottle and drink lots of water.
Avoid drinking too much alcohol. Of course you will want to enjoy a few beers and try some of the local rum around the first night, however don't make yourself a liability. Nobody wants to have to look after a drunk person. Tropical hangovers are a nightmare and you don't want to miss out on the day activities if you are trying to recover from the night before!
Your skin will burn easily in the tropics especially ya'll winter hybernating New Yorkers. Get the proper gear, and protection!
There has been no incidents that we've heard of or come across that would have us concerned. You are safe in the area and very safe if you stay with us, our accommodation is very secure and has several guards working 24/7.
DO NOT FLUSH ANY PRODUCTS, INCLUDING PAPER, DOWN THE TOILETS.
This is a third world country and the sewage is not the same as the US. There are waste baskets next to bathrooms, please use those.
This is a tropical beach adventure, not a yoga retreat or luxury travel experience. But our property is very beautiful with very comfortable and clean rooms. As we're in the middle of the jungle you'll have to keep an eye out for bugs, and spiders. As long as you keep the doors shut you should be good.
Almost everyday you can expect morning workouts, sunset yoga, beach run throughs, and fitness games. We'll be pairing that with big group dinners, nights out in town, and lots of dancing! You can always take it at your own pace, skip workouts or adventures and stay back at the house.
If you have an open mind and a sense of adventure we believe you can easily handle this adventure!
