NICARAGUA TRAVEL AND TOUR INFORMATION:
Considered to be one of the most vibrant and unique countries in the
region, Nicaragua offers great opportunities for every type of traveler.
Even though the tourism industry is still in its infancy, Nicaragua is fast
becoming a sought after travel destination.
Known as “The Country of
Lakes and Volcanoes”, Nicaragua offers a breathtaking landscape of
volcanoes, lakes, mountains and rain forests. Many mountains and volcanoes
are suitable for hiking and offer spectacular views of the surrounding
landscape. The beaches on the Pacific and Atlantic Coast are unspoiled and
travelers can enjoy a swim in the crystal clear waters, learn how to surf or
just relax on the beach. Nature lovers will be able to discover and enjoy
the country’s great natural resources which have been a well kept secret for
a long time. There are 78 national nature reserves which protect a rich
portfolio of flora and fauna. Especially in the cloud forests one can find a
variety of flora, such as enormous old trees, colorful orchids, and endemic
bromeliad.
Apart from its natural resources, Nicaragua is also famous
for its beautiful colonial towns such as Granada and León. The rich history
of these places together with its well-preserved architecture of churches,
cathedrals, fortresses and colonial houses will surely make an impression on
you. More than anything, the country’s welcoming people, their hospitality
and open-mindedness will be one of the most memorable experiences of your
vacation. If you are interested in music and dance, be sure to visit one of
the many traditional festivals taking place year-round and do not miss out
on the fantastic poetry.
