About Corinto
Corinto is Nicaragua's main Pacific commercial port town in Chinandega Department, on an island linked to the mainland by bridges. Cruise passengers typically use it as the gateway to colonial León — about an hour inland — with its cathedral, volcano views along the Maribios range, and Pacific beaches nearby.
The town itself is a working port community rather than a resort strip. Ships use the Empresa Portuaria Nacional (EPN) multipurpose harbour rather than a dedicated passenger terminal.
