We are Turismo CaNica.
We are Shannon and Michael.
Transforming Nicaragua (and most likely ourselves) one tourist at a time. We cater to tourist and business traveler alike but our primary goal is to introduce travelers to the wonders of Nicaragua. We are two Canadians embracing the Nicaraguan culture, lifestyle, food and climate.
We are not quite ready to retire and still possessed of enough life to pursue an alternative experience, atypical to that of our North American neighbors.
We will treat you as family, host you at our table with typical Nicaraguan food and help you tailor your stay to suit your available time, budget and interests.
We will accommodate you whether you need a night to stay on your way thru Managua or a few days to set up base and explore from here. We will help you find a private beach house in which to relax for a time and if you are more adventuresome, we can get you to the top of any volcano in Nicaragua.
Let us know what you like and we will make it happen.
Cofounder & Secretary
Shannon got acquainted with Nicaragua after following Michael here for a vacation in 2013. An avid triathlete, cyclist and all-round fitness enthusiast, Shannon is a Human Resources professional and Leadership Coach by trade and is still practicing her consulting by Skype and Facetime. She is the extrovert… which is why she will be running all the social events at the hotel, that is, if she is not out running in the hills of Santo Domingo.
Cofounder & President
Michael landed in the country in 2007 on a vacation with a buddy and fell in love with the country spending 1-3 months here every year since and now full time. An avid back country, triathlon and fitness enthusiast, Michael is also a certified group fitness leader and personal trainer and a project manager by trade. Michael is currently training other local athletes for both Triathlons and distance running races. Michael is an introvert, which is why if there is nothing being built at the hotels, you can see him on his bike…if you can find him.
