Jason, I've traveled through and lived in about 45 countries over the past 15 years (including New York City), and have NEVER been robbed. But had never been to Latin America until November 2009. Not even one week into the trip I was robbed twice, once at knife-point. It's hard for me not to consider Central America especially dangerous. .-= Stephen´s last blog ..Ukraine Slide Show =-.

Stephen, we didn’t have any issues with safety while we were there, however we did visit during the low season and it was completely dead at the bars and on the beach. We have come to the realization that thefts can occur anywhere and usually unexpectantly; we just hope that it doesn’t happen to us. If it does, I am sure it will put a bad taste in our mouth about the place where it occured, but we will try to look past it. Thefts occur in most cities around the entire world, even NYC, but we will never stop visiting our favorite city.

Did you guys or anybody else have problems getting with safety…either around town or at the beaches. We got robbed on the rocks in San Juan del Sur. Here’s the story on my blog: http://gomadnomad.com/2009/12/16/getting-robbed-at-knife-point/

And also, yes I was surprised at the high prices in Nicaragua. I went there specifically because I read it was the cheapest country in Central America. That 15% tax really pissed me off as well.

Yo. Looks like you 2 are having a great time down there. I was in San Juan del Sur at about this time last year. Nice place. We went to see the olive ridley turtles laying their eggs one night. Amazing. Have fun!

That is surprising that the costs would be so high in Nicaragua. But now that you say that there is a extra “tax” in tourist towns, it makes complete sense.

She was better than myself and the other guy that was with us! The canopy tour in San Juan del Sur was $30USD compared to Costa Rica’s $50-65 costs. The lines in Monteverde are extremely long, but we still had fun at Da’Flying Frog in San Juan del Sur and saved some money.

Nicaragua…. wow! Nice! It’s on my list!
While you are on your trip and get to nice accommodations, it would be great if you would offer them to present themselves for free on Traveldudes.org. They just have to register & click on “start business” in the left menu. That would be a great help & I’m sure they would appreciate it, too! (but just offer it to the nice ones.. )
