20 Stunning Images That Will Make You Want Travel to Nicaragua

Many backpackers seem to pass through Nicaragua quickly. A few days are spent at San Juan del Sur surfing by day and inhaling Flor de Caña by night, followed by a few days recovering by taking in the colours of Leon and Granada and possibly a pass over Ometepe to climb one of its two magnificent volcanoes.

But if you give it time, there is so much more to stoke your curiosity, particularly for the more outdoor-inclined traveller.

Nicaragua is the safest country in Central America and certainly one of the cheapest. We spent 3 months bouncing around and hope we went a little further than just the normal gringo trail.
