Managua Airport by Night, Questions ?

Hello,
i will arrive in Managua at 19:00. This will be my first time there. I don`t now where to sleep in the first night.
In my Travelguide i found a Hotel at the Volcan Masaya 23 Km from the Airport. The Name is "Hotel Volcan Masaya".This will be my first point.
Did you think it is possible to arrive at 19:00 at the Airport, make all the customs and that stuff, take a Taxi to Mercado Central and take a Bus to the National Park ?
What time is the last Non-Express Bus to Masaya ?
If it is to late, did you now a Hotel next the Airport or near Mercado Central? My Budget for the first Night is about 25 $ a room.
If you have any other Informations, links of Nicaragua especially what to do and roundtrips in the Country, pls. tell me. I will stay 21 Days and one or two Domestic Flights are no Problem if necessary.
Thanks in advance for your Help,
Best Regard

The info you need is at http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com
Go to the Central America Branch and type in Nicaragua in the Advance Search Box. You do not have to register to view but you have to register (for free) if you want to post a message. Good luck.

Thank you very much,
that was what i`m looking for.

I am glad the info was what you were looking for. I hope you visit San Juan del Sur. The link to them is http://www.sanjuandelsur.org.ni. If you are in Managua go to Mercado Huembes catch the bus to Rivas, then in Rivas catch either the local bus or a shared taxi to San Juan del Sur. The only time you need to fly is from Managua to the East Coast...Corn Islands. The fare is about $100 round trip. All other times you rely on the bus system. You do not have to buy a ticket. Just get on the bus and the conductor will come along and collect the fare while you are enroute. Happy travels. John

I think is better to take a taxi to your hotel in Volcan Masaya (aprox 30 min ?/ max 10 $)
