Tania Maldonado
My name is Tania Maldonado and it will be a pleasure to help you build the best itinerary for your trip to wonderful Nicaragua!
I was born in Sabadell, Barcelona in 1993, but I've been living in Nicaragua since I was 3 months. I graduated in Management and Development of Tourism at the Central American University (UCA), and I speak some languages: apart from Spanish, I speak English, Portuguese and French, and also a little Catalan.
I love everything about nature and animals, so I am an animal rights activist and a vegetarian. My favorite activities are dancing, listening to music, playing the guitar, read, do volcano hiking and volunteer work. For me, the most beautiful destinations of Nicaragua are "Massif of Peñas Blancas" which is part of the biosphere reserve Bosawás in Jinotega, and then the wonderful beaches of Little Corn Island, at the Caribbean Coast.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"My specialization is in nature, culture, and adventure tours throughout the country, such as the Caribbean coast, Leon, Granada and Ometepe."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My experience in the travel industry began when I started working in Vapues Tours four years ago. I am a travel planner which gives me the opportunity to show you about my beautiful country and its amazing destinations that I am sure will fit your interests. I will do my best to present you an itinerary including all the highlights you have requested or the most similar activities we have in our beautiful Nicaragua. There is no way to get bored in here! "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my most memorable experiences in Nicaragua has been visiting Little Corn Island, located in the Caribbean, here you can find beaches with clear water and amazing sunsets. The highlight for me was the visit to the reefs while doing some snorkeling."
