The story behind Monkeys Travels and Tours

Our Story

It all started in 2020 when Evert Palma, a Nicaraguan tourism enthusiast, decided to turn his vision into reality. With years of experience exploring every corner of Nicaragua, Evert dreamed of creating an agency that would showcase the true essence of the country.

At a challenging time for global tourism, Monkeys Travels and Tours was born with the purpose of offering safe, authentic, and personalized experiences. Evert wanted to create a service that would not only transport travelers but deeply connect them with Nicaragua's culture and natural beauty.

The name 'Monkeys' pays homage to Nicaragua's rich biodiversity, symbolizing the energy and adventurous spirit that characterizes our tours. What started as a personal project quickly grew thanks to the trust of our first travelers.

Today, we are proud to be a benchmark in responsible tourism, helping hundreds of visitors discover everything from Pacific beaches to active volcanoes, always with a commitment to supporting local communities and preserving our environment.
