Hacienda Iguana

The last half of their time here in Nica, the 3 M's and I, took a little expedish to the beautiful Playa Iguana.  Thanks to the help of Dennis, he set us up with a nice place to stay at Hacienda Iguana to surf and enjoy the beach. 

Dennis let us use his legendary "jeep" for the trip to somewhat remote location at Iguana. 

The 3 M's ready to head for the beach.  I love Matt O's nervous expression here.  At first, driving in Nica can be nerve-wracking, but he got comfortable driving there in no time.

Epic surf at Iguana... for waves, this is the place to go.  Our original plan was to head to San Juan Del Sur, but thanks to Dennis the trip was much better at this more relaxing and secluded area.  This is a famous break known as Colorado.  

Ultimate beach truck... the racks made easy transport for the surfboards.

Taking a "nature walk" and hiking to the top of this high point to catch the view

A truly inspirational pic... Marvin and the rock. 


Hacienda Iguana is always a fine way to end a trip to Nicaragua... It's a beach that's out of the way, so you need a vehicle, but it's worth it, and in many ways much nicer than San Juan Del Sur.  This was an amazing way to end off a most life-changing and incredible 8 months of need-greating in Nicaragua, and it was fun enjoying this with a few buddies from back home as well...
