Hola Adriana,

Puede usar el servicio de buses Transnica. La terminal en San José está aquí: https://goo.gl/KgUhpZ

El costo del pasaje es de $57 (ida y vuelta). Puede usar su boleto para regresar a Costa Rica.

En Nicaragua, el destino turístico más cercano a la frontera con Costa Rica es el departamento de Rivas. De allí, puede ir a la isla de Ometepe. Pero también hay otros destinos en Rivas.

Ya más adentro en Nicaragua están: Granada, Masaya y Managua.

Que lo disfrute.

Last year I went to Nicaragua. I took a Tracopa bus (I think) at the SJ's terminal that left around 3 am. The 2 way ticket was 30 mil colones. We got off the bus at Rivas around 10 am. We didnt stay in Rivas, but went to another town close by in a taxi where there was a port where a ferry leaves every hour( i think) to the Ometepe Island in Nicaragua's lake. I can't remember the name of the town. We returned that same day in the afternoon to Rivas and took a bus this time to go to San Juan del Sur, the beach town thats is about a 1 hour away from Rivas. It is very pretty, not too hot, there are places to eat and things to see. There is a pub crawl activity called "Sunday Funday" that is very popular for young tourist. You should do it!

Thanks everybody for you reply, if somebody have the same way, my travel was the follow:

First San Jose - Liberia. I travel for a agency call Pulpita o something like that for 8 dollars. And next day Liberia - Peñas Blancas by intermunicipal buses 1,5 dollars.

For me was mandatory show the certificated of [Fiebre Amarilla[ Vaciencie in Nicaragua, if you don't have it , you can get a deprotation to your original country, it is mandatory for all south america countries.
