Travel to Nicaragua

Nicaragua has many names,  the Lost Paradise of Mahoma, the Venus of America, The Original, and many more. But the most common name is the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes. This name fits well because it shows the country’s geography, volcanic history, passionate people, and love for revolution. Nicaragua has everything, especially when you explore it with local guides who know the land well. As you travel on its roads, you move from the warm and colorful cities on the Pacific coast with beautiful beaches and views, to the cool mountains where it feels like you are touching the clouds.
