San Juan del Sur, once a tranquil
fishing village that has transformed into
a cool, beach town for the adventure
traveler.
Surfing, sailing, fishing, hiking and long
walks on beautiful sandy beaches are
just a few of the activities that are
available in San Juan del Sur and the
surrounding bays!
Rancho Cecilia is located in the country 7 kilometers north of San Juan
del Sur. Nestled in a tropical woodland setting, 1 kilometer inland from
Playa Maderas, (as the crow flies) the most consistent surf spot in
Southern Nicaragua.
We are an environmentally friendly, off the grid, rancho, situated on 2
manzanas (3.5 acres) Our electrical needs are met through our solar and
wind powered electrical system.
We have vegetable gardens for our fresh veggies and native cashew
trees on our property.
We are an animal friendly Rancho with a great variety of native wildlife
including howler monkeys, tropical birds, opossums, turtles and frogs.
And, our domestic family of dogs and cats too!!!
Rancho Cecilia is located in the
tropics, on the Pacific side of
Southern Nicaragua. We have
two distinct seasons, the wet
season and the dry season. The
wet season (invierno) winter is
May-October. A quick
thundershower or a downpour
may be the daily rain at this time
of the year. This is the time of
the year when the jungle is lush
and green. The dry season
(verano) summer is
November-April. Early in the dry
season thundershowers are not
uncommon and the jungle is still
beautifully green. As the dry
season progresses, the jungle
dries out with almost no rain for
five months. During the dry
season it is easier to spot our
native wildlife, especially the
howler monkeys.
Average temperatures year
round are:
Daytime 80*F-90*F
(27*C-32*C)
Nighttime 74*F-80*F
(23*C-27*C)
