Nicaragua
Nicaragua, the largest—but least densely populated—country of Central America, is known as the land of lakes and volcanoes. Almost 20 of Nicaragua is designated as protected areas such as national parks, nature reserves and biological reserves. It is the home to Granada (founded in 1524) and León, two of the oldest cities in Central and South America. Lake Nicaragua is the largest freshwater lake in Central America and is home to the world’s only freshwater sharks.

I had a great trip! You were right—it was incredibly beautiful and friendly. The cities we visited were just lovely, and the countrysides were amazing. Thank you for the recommendation. My tour guide, José, was great. He was professional and really took extra steps to show me the things I was interested in (finding a vegetarian restaurant I read about in Managua) and hunt down things I wanted (visiting the locals’ market in Masaya, not just the artisan market). The process that was set up, where he picked me up and dropped me off at all locations, was also great and very comforting. Overall, I had a great trip and really enjoyed seeing Nicaragua. I would certainly recommend it to friends and have already done so! Thank you again. |
