The Treehouse Jungle Rave Granada: Everything You Need to Know
If you’re in Granada Nicaragua, you must’ve heard about the legendary weekly Treehouse Jungle Rave. It is one of the most unique raves that you can go to in your travels throughout Central America. This weekly party located just outside the city should be right near the top of your to-do list.
It’s something that people come from everywhere in Central America to attend. The Treehouse Hostel hosts a massive rave in their literal treehouse every Friday, and every time it is an absolute blast. Round trip transportation from Granada with a low entry fee of $30. You get a $5 discount if you are already staying at the hostel. That’s a $25 ticket instead for those of you who don’t like math. The views from this hostel are uncomparable and I really recommend taking the early shuttle to get the sunset. Also, don’t forget to bring some extra cash for a tattoo. Buy tickets online to ensure you get to go!
Did I mention that you can also stay at this party place? Cause it’s also a top-rated hostel on its off days.

What Is The Treehouse Jungle Rave?
The venue (also hostel) is situated 200m high on the side of Mombacho Volcano sits this incredible jungle hostel. Surrounded by howler monkeys, multiple zip-lines, a 60-meter canopy suspension bridge, jungle swing, big elevated jungle hammock.
How does that sound to party in? It’s all yours for only $30. Including transportation. If you stay at the hostel, it’s even cheaper ($25). Be sure to buy tickets online as they do sell out, and it most likely will sell out. This will give you a QR Code to be scanned on party night.
This Jungle Rave is full of backpackers looking to go all out on their Friday night. They have enough drinks and food behind the bar to give hundreds of backpackers everything they need. Once you’re nice and tanked, it’s time to go get some free face paint and a fresh new tattoo for you to rep while you dance until 3 am.
Where Is The Treehouse Jungle Rave?
The Treehouse Hostel is located just outside of Granada, Nicaragua. You can stay at the hostel, or take a free shuttle from the centre of Granada to get there and back. If you want, most taxis will know what you’re talking about but it will cost you around $5. There are usually taxis waiting and eager to bring you back.
The shuttle services leave from The Madhouse at 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, and 8pm. The return shuttle is midnight, 1am, 2am, and 3am. Your QR code (online ticket) will get scanned here at The Madhouse before your depature.
Don’t worry, when your ride takes a hard left onto a dirt road and keeps driving for another 20 minutes, your own the right track. Oh, and when the car stops, you still have a 10-minute hike straight up to get to the hostel. It’s well worth it though.

This party happens every Friday, almost without fail. There are also a couple of other parties that happen at this hostel every year, such as the owner’s birthday and their yearly Treehouse festival edition.
The first and most popular shuttle is at 4pm. This time also happens to be the time that sells out the quickest, so you better get a jump on it! Be ready.

Departs From The Madhouse Hostel
Get over to The Madhouse Hostel and start mingling with people. Grab a beer and get acquainted with the people around you cause you’re about to be in a bus with all of them for 30 minutes.
Legend has it, if you take the two later shuttles, you’ll get free shots from Madhouse to hype you up. So, you’re going to have to decide between free shots or an insane sunset.
Last Shuttle – 8:00 PM
The early shuttlers have had time to pre-drink and take shots and gain all of the energy from the people arriving from the other shuttles. The people coming on the last shuttle are in for an awesome full momentum party once they arrive.
Leave Time – Shuttle 1 – Midnight | Shuttle 2 – 1:00 AM | Shuttle 3 – 2:00 AM | Shuttle 4 – 3:00 AM — Departs From The Treehouse Hostel

Do I need to have the hostel booked to attend the party in the tree tops?
Nope! I personally stayed in town rather than the Treetop hostel. They have shuttles leaving from town to take you to the party and to bring you home later at specific times. I believe the times have changed since I was there so I would double check their site or Hostel World page for shuttle times
