An AWD or 4x4 vehicle is required to gain admittance to Balcones at Majagual. Each rental party must have an AWD or 4x4 vehicle, and a high-clearance vehicle is strongly recommended. The guard at the entrance will confirm that your vehicle is in 4WD and that manual hubs are locked, before you will be allowed to drive into our community. The requirement for an AWD or 4x4 vehicle is for your protection on our ungroomed dirt roads and helps prevents damage to our roads. Keeping costs of road maintenance low, helps assure our rental rates remain affordable.

Nicaragua has regular seasons of rainy and dry weather. During dry season (usually mid- November through mid-May) a high-clearance vehicle is recommended to travel most comfortably on the coastal road north and south of San Juan del Sur. During rainy season (usually mid-May through mid-November), 4WD vehicles with high clearance are highly recommended and may be required to navigate coastal roads north and south of San Juan del Sur, ford small rivers without bridges, as well as drive to Playa Marsella and Playa Maderas surf beach.
