The easiest way to get to
Puerto Cabezas from
Managua is by air. There are 3 airlines namely La Costena, Atlantic and Aero Segovia run between Managua and Puerto Cabezas and it will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on the type of the flight. If you are looking for cheap deals then visit
Nicaragua flights page to get more info. I have spent nearly a week in
Nicaragua and I stayed in Puerto Cabezas just one night. Just I visited few places including the town of Wawa. If you like to visit then just catch a boat from Lamlaya, it's a pretty town located on the ocean at the mouth of a large river. The beach in Puerto Cabezas is nice, so you can spend few hours there. hope this helps!
