It all started with four friends’ desire to acquire part of the Rio Escalante-Chacocente Wildlife Refuge in order to enjoy and preserve it.  They soon discovered how threatened the Refuge was from hunting, poaching, and illegal wood harvesting, and devised a strategy to protect it.   The four friends formed a partnership, Land Conservation and Investment (LCI). They purchased additional property as it became available in order to protect and sustainably develop a small part of it as a way of sharing it with like-minded people, thus ensuring its permanent survival.

Nezua’s mission is to create an alluring resort community combining upscale hotels, a broad range of amenities and activities, and an exciting residential component, all in an environmentally and socially conscious manner. Nezua will showcase Nicaragua’s magnificent scenery, beaches, biodiversity and culture. Our goal is to ensure the protection and rejuvenation of the Refuge, and improve the standard of living for present and future generations.
