Tips for this trip

Honduras border (El Espino). Connects with buses to San Marcos de Colón and Choluteca.
For Somoto Canyon, get off at Km 231 (Sonis community), about 30 minutes out; from there it is a 3 km walk to the canyon, or take a taxi from Somoto (about US$8). Local guides are required inside the canyon (about US$15–20 for a group). The last bus back passes around 5:30 PM; the canyon may close in October when the water is high.
