A new era in our sustainable community tourism!

Sustainable Tourism with Somoto Canyon Tours

Welcome to the best “unknown” adventure trip in Central America.

At the side of the Panamericana Highway, 14kms to the west of the city of Somoto, capital of the department of Madriz, and 5kms from the Honduran border, lies the house of the Soriano Family, the headquarters for Somoto Canyon Tours. The family and the other guides associated with them manifest a commitment to responsible, sustainable tourism, with no middlemen or profits taken away from the local community. We hope you will support us in this endeavour at this spectacular natural beauty spot in the wilds of the Nicaraguan border country.
