I've also read that Managua is the only place you can get a COVID test.

That's true, and I don't know the answer to that one. I've never flown to Nicaragua from the US, only from elsewhere in Central America. That's not as easy as it used to be, but that's more AV dehubbing SJO and routing everything through SAL. I remember the days when each country had its own airline, and the flights hopscotched up and down the isthmus: PTY-SJO-MGA-SAL-GUA and back and forth. That was never efficient for several airlines to do that simultaneously.
