Good to know
Good to Know
- As of current listings, Waves & Wifi is repeatedly described by locals and nomad-blog sources as effectively the only dedicated, purpose-built coworking space in Popoyo proper — most other 'coworking' options here are really hotel amenities bundled into a stay rather than drop-in desks.
- Popoyo is remote, and Nicaragua overall has a history of unreliable grid power and internet; the main selling point of both spaces above is solar/backup power specifically to avoid the outages that are common elsewhere in town.
- If exact coworking pass prices matter to your budget, contact the venue directly (WhatsApp/booking page) before travel — published rate cards were not consistently visible online at the time of this research.
- Payments at Waves & Wifi can be made in cash (US dollars or Nicaraguan córdobas) or by card, with roughly a 5% surcharge on card payments.
- Waves & Wifi is effectively the only dedicated coworking space in Popoyo — if you're not staying there, you can still buy a day/week/month coworking-only pass and access the desks 24/7 with a code, but published exact prices for those passes weren't available online at time of research, so confirm current rates directly via WhatsApp or at Kooks Cafe before planning around them.
- Power cuts do happen in this part of Nicaragua; Waves & Wifi's coworking area specifically runs on solar with backup, so it's worth choosing a workspace with confirmed backup power rather than assuming any café has stable wifi during outages.
- Popoyo is remote — getting between any of these spaces and the rest of town is realistically done by rented scooter/moto rather than on foot for anything beyond the immediate Guasacate strip.
