Tips for this trip

There is no direct bus: the trip combines the express bus to El Rama (6 h) with the speedboat El Rama – Bluefields (2 h). The fare covers both legs.
Overland alternative: bus to Nueva Guinea and then a bus to Bluefields on the new road (8–9 h in total).
Bluefields is the jumping-off point for the Corn Islands (boat or small plane).
