Nicaragua is still flying under the radar compared to many other countries in Central and South America. You’ll find crystal-clear Caribbean waters around the Corn Islands, lush jungle, volcanoes, crater lakes and a long Pacific coastline that’s perfect for surfing.

In many places, Nicaragua still feels untouched and less polished than more popular travel destinations. It’s a country for travellers who love nature, adventure, slow travel and discovering places before they become too crowded.
