Nicaragua isn't visited.
It's explored slowly.

One family, one town, and the will to share their country

Casanova Tours was born in Buenos Aires, Rivas, a quiet town on Nicaragua's Pacific side, started by Augusto Casanova and his family. The idea was always simple: show every traveller the Nicaragua they themselves love exploring — its beaches, its volcanoes, its patron-saint festivals — with the closeness of a family business, not an anonymous operator.

Since 2017 we've put together weekend routes, Holy Week getaways and multi-day excursions through Granada, León, Ometepe and San Juan del Sur — always with our own transport, Nicaraguan guides, and that very Rivas habit of treating every group like family visiting the house.

Buenos Aires itself has deep roots: founded in 1717 as the Pueblo de San José de Buenos Aires and raised to villa status in 1870, it sits on the narrow strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Cocibolca — a short ride from the Playa La Flor sea-turtle refuge, one of the reasons this corner of Rivas was our family's obsession long before it became our business.
