With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Trinidad, 30 miles away, has to offer. Ancon Beach should be at the top of your list here. Plaza Mayor and Topes de Collantes Nature Reserve are fantastic attractions too. Santa Clara is another popular destination. It’s 40 miles away and boasts a variety of fun things to see and do. Monumento a la Toma del Tren Blindado, Estatua Che y Niño and Augusto Cesar Sandino Stadium are only the start.
