Explore La Flor

If you're traveling to Central America and interested in the incredible diversity of the Pacific slope of Nicaragua, please consider taking a tour with Explore La Flor, an eco-tour company born of our initiative to empower communities by launching entrepreneurs and training community nature guides.

As the tourism sector grows in Nicaragua, nature tourism has the potential to provide economic benefit to local communities while also supporting conservation efforts.

Paso Pacifico provides training and business development for hospitality entrepreneurs from rural villages. After extensive nature guide training these young adults launched Explore La Flor.
