Nicaragua Overview

Nicaragua is a country of beauty and charm, vibrant colonial culture, tall volcanoes and beautiful beaches. The largest republic in Central America, Nicaragua is located at the juncture of three tectonic plates. This makes the natural phenomenon as exciting and dramatic as man-made events. The capital city of Managua that has been partially decimated by earthquakes three times and once by a major fire. From the cultural and artisan center of Masaya just outside the capital city to the up and coming -hang out- of Granada, Nicaragua's spirit and national pride shines in every corner of this country.

Solentiname Islands - An archipelago of islands in Lake Nicaragua great for boating trips.

Masaya - An artisan town where one can visit Santiago Volcano and the remains of Mombacho.

Lake Cocibolca - Also known as Lake Nicaragua, the third largest lake in Latin America (just slightly smaller than Lake Titicaca). A freshwater lake where saltwater fish have swum up Rio San Juan and adapted. Many species are not found anywhere else in the world.

Islas de Maiz - Located in the Caribbean, made up of the popular vacation spot Big Corn and the smaller, idyllic Little Corn. The latter has no telephone or electricity and can be visited only by panga from the larger island.
