This award follows a string of recognition for Lapa Rios including being named as a 2009 World Savers for its commitment to sustainability in the September issue of CondéNast Traveler, and the best nature and wilderness lodge by Away.com, the leading online destination for travelers planning their next vacation.
But the images that people have are all wrong!!!! The country and the people of Nicaragua were AWESOME. The sliding down the flank of Cerro Negro and the Ferry to the Volcanic Island of Ometepe was a once in a life time experience. Something I’ll always remember. Julio, my guide probably lost some blood circulation, when I was going down Cerro Negro, in his left shoulder, I was holding on so tight at least at the beginning. The culture and 
the history in Leon were very impressive, the murals incredible. Also, I met the owner of LaPerla, James Peterson, there, and had a great chat. I had the pool all to myself at Morgan’s Rock. That was a very nice place!
