Nicaragua

Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, with a population of about five million and a land area of 130,700 squared kilometers. It is situated between Honduras to the north, and Costa Rica to the south. The country has access to the Atlantic Ocean to the East, and the Pacific Ocean to the West. Nicaragua has the greatest concentration of active and extinguished volcanoes, fresh water lakes, untouched forests and crater lagoons, in the whole region.

After decades of political military conflicts, peace was finally established in 1990, giving the country a new perspective regarding economics and a positive image to the world. So, Nicaragua has gained a reputation of being a stable, democratic and a safe country. Its rich history, friendly, simple and hospitable people, colonial cities, indigenous culture, volcanoes, lakes, exotic islands and unspoiled sandy beaches have turned the country, in the last decade, into one of the hottest and most exciting Central American destinations.

The country offers its visitors a wide variety of places to experience such as the green mountains and coffee farms in the north, beautiful beaches and colonial cities on the Pacific, fantastic archipelagos and islands found within the Big Lake Cocibolca and to the south, peaceful rivers and virgin jungles on the Atlantic region as well as exotic islands on the Caribbean Sea. Nicaragua is a country with great biodiversity, an incredible multilingual, multicultural and multiethnic population, and a great vocation for poetry, traditional music and literature.
