Colonial gems, diverse and authentic cultures
Would you rather discover something new than follow a familiar route? Then come to friendly off-the-beaten track Nicaragua. What really sets Nicaragua apart from neighboring Costa Rica is its Spanish colonial architecture and authentic indigenous culture. Granada and León are colonial gems where you can feast your eyes. But the biggest attraction of Nicaragua is probably the charm, authenticity and hospitality of its proud inhabitants. Nicaragua is a multi-cultural society par excellence, where old and new peoples have largely merged. However, on the Atlantic side of Nicaragua, indigenous peoples have preserved many elements of their social structure and culture. This part of the country is also home to the most notable remains of slaves of African descent. It results in the colorful Afro-Caribbean culture. Come experience it!
Living volcanoes, rainforest, lakes and tropical beaches
The country has very diverse natural attractions such as rain forests, grand volcanoes that dominate the landscape, numerous lakes with impressive flora and fauna, as well as beautiful beaches. Not to be missed is the enormous Lake Nicaragua, or Lake Cocibolca, with its extraordinary cluster of volcanic islets: the Isletas de Granada. The west coast - the Costa Esmeralda - has elongated beaches and many places are popular with surfers. Cross over to the east side for beautiful natural areas - such as the Indio Maíz Bioreserve - and the most beautiful tropical beaches. The true gems are the laid-back Corn Islands, Calala Beach and the Pearl Cays. Here you can luxuriate in the silence of a tropical paradise, Where the world can't find you....
