Day 1: Sunday, June 24th
The group will meet on Sunday, June 24th at 11am in the
Miami International Airport. Once gathered at the appropriate gate, the Delegation will get acquainted before boarding American Airlines flight #1429 to Managua. Once in Nicaragua, we will gather our luggage and meet our bus driver(s) so that we can venture to León, a colonial city in the northwest - only 20-minutes from the Pacific coast. By 3pm, we will be settled in town. After dropping off our luggage, we will stroll into the heart of León and the Parque Central in front of the famous Cathedral. We'll dine in the center of the city before venturing back to our hotel for the night. |

The second part of the Delegation is a opportunity to be of a service to a
poor community in Nicaragua's Rainforest. We will be assisting with the construction of a recreation space for the plantation workers and their families during the 2nd part of our stay. By law, Nicaraguan plantation workers are only allowed to work 8-hours per day. Due to the afternoon heat, they opt to work up and down the mountain slopes picking coffee cherries from 6am - 2pm. Likewise, their children attend school from early in the morning until the afternoon. We will participate in constructing a recreation and community space at the Recreo Plantation so that the workers and children have an intentional space for socializing and community-building. While on the plantation, we will also spend time learning about coffee production on this fully-functional eco-friendly plantation. As a bonus, we will learn about cacao (chocolate!) production at a sister-plantation - all while cultivating relationships with the local community. |

León
While engaging in our León-based leadership cultural exchange, we will stay at Hotel Cacique Adiact - a premier hotel (with a pool) - just three blocks from the famous Cathedral and Parque Central |

Jinotega (Rainforest)
While in Nicaragua's northern rainforest, Delegation participants will have the option of lodging in a premier hotel - in the heart of Jinotega (30 minutes from the plantation) - or on the Recreo Coffee Plantation itself. Lodging at the Recreo Coffee Plantation is comfortable, yet rustic. Participants will sleep on dormitory-style twin beds in rooms for 2, 3, or 4. Each room has a private bathroom - but internet is not guaranteed. For Delegates seeking cultural immersion and an incredibly unique opportunity to stay on a fully-operational eco-friendly coffee plantation, Recreo is the option for you! For participants seeks a more plushy experience, choose the Jinotega hotel option. |
