Send Flowers to San Carlos, Nicaragua

San Carlos stands at the south-eastern corner of Lake Cocibolca, exactly where the lake empties into the Río San Juan. Capital of the Río San Juan department, it is a small, hot, rainy port town and the jumping-off point for boats to the Solentiname Islands, to the old Spanish fortress at El Castillo and to the wildlife reserves along the river.

Fishermen, boatmen, public employees and small traders live here, along with travellers passing through. Relatives in Managua and in Costa Rica, where many people from this part of Nicaragua work, send flowers to San Carlos for family occasions. Same-day delivery from Monday to Saturday is offered for orders placed before 11:00 am local time, though as a remote town it may sometimes require next-day delivery, and there is none on Sundays. Addresses reached only by boat, such as the islands, may need extra time, so an address in the town itself is the most reliable choice.
