Pedaling for Change in Nicaragua Kicks Off on January 29, 2017



A financial professional, Sebastian Palazio most recently served as the managing director of Abinger Capital. In his spare time, Sebastian Palazio enjoys supporting Empowerment International.

Empowerment International will kick off its Pedaling for Change in Nicaragua tour on January 29, 2017. The event will be the third time the organization hosts a fundraising bike ride. The week-long tour supports the organization’s sustainability plan. All proceeds benefit the non-profit’s programs that provide educational opportunities to children in underserved communities.

Riders will travel through the Nicaraguan countryside. For the best experience, the organization plans on utilizing trails least traveled to guide participants around the Masaya volcano and Laguna de Apoyo, a volcanic lake. Riders also get to take in sites of waterfalls in Diriamba and enjoy hidden watering holes that are popular with locals. Other attractions include a ride in the San Juan del Sur where the film Survivor was made and a visit to Lake Nicaragua.
