Surf Information:
Southern Nicaragua is blessed with almost 330 days per year of off shore winds! Rancho Cecilia is located 1 kilometer inland, as the crow flies, from Playa Maderas, the most consistent surf spot in Southern Nicaragua. Playa Maderas is a fun wave that is good for surfers from beginners to experts. Want to learn to surf? We do surf lessons and surf board rentals. Want to get some surf at some of our northern breaks? We also do panga surf trips and surf photography!
Eco-Friendly:
Rancho Cecilia is an Eco-friendly destination. We have built with as minimal disruption to the environment as possible. Our closest neighbors, the howler monkeys thank us for this as do the other woodland creatures that still call Rancho Cecilia home. Rancho Cecilia is 'off the grid'. We are not hooked to conventional electricity.
Our electrical needs are supplied through our solar panels, wind generator and battery banks, we also have a backup gas generator and a generator for pumping water from our well to our water tanks. We have 2 vegetable gardens. One right next to the Casita and we will share whatever crops are currently in season at Rancho Cecilia with you!
Customize your stay:
*Customized full and partial service packages are also available on request! For example; Meals: (prepared for you in the Casita by our Nicaraguan cook.) How about on arrival day having dinner waiting for you at the Casita?
We also do day trips to surf spots both North and South of San Juan del Sur and site seeing trips to Granada, Masaya, Catarina and Mombacho.
