    Popoyo is 100 kilometers south of Managua and will take 2 to 2-1/2 hours to drive. 2 hours if you go via Masaya, and 2-1/2 if you use highway 1 (Panamerican highway). Either way, drive south until you get to Paso Real de Ochomogo, then turn west on highway NIC-62 (towards Popoyo). The road ends when you're at the beach.
