Day 80 : Border Crossings – El Salvador to Nicaragua

After a few nights of just chilling and doing nothing in El Tunco, it’s time to make my way down south. 

I dreaded getting on the shuttle, particularly since our legs would be crammed in an uncomfortable position for a full 10 hours.  Just wish they could had made the spacing between seats wider for a more comfortable ride. 

I suppose it does beat taking the chicken bus and crossing 3 countries’ immigration.  I would definitely hate it more having to load and unload my bags, changing buses at each immigration checkpoint, and queuing to get my passports checked. 

With the shuttle, everything was taken care of by the driver, a total peace of mind, and definitely worth the USD30. 

Cost breakdown

  • Shuttle from El Tunco, El Salvador – Leon, Nicaragua : USD 30
  • Honduras Entry Fee : USD 3
  • Honduras Exit Fee : USD 1
  • Nicaragua Entry Fee : USD 12
