I am from Nicaragua, or to refer to it by its poetic title, I am from “The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes”. Nicaragua is a small country located in the heart of the Americas. It extends between Honduras and Costa Rica, right in the center of Central America. Nicaragua is a country fill with explosions of natural beauty,
Being only two and a half hour away from Houston, Tx, Nicaragua’s location is convenient to many American tourists that want to experience a different kind of environment.
As soon as you land in Nicaragua, your eyes are struck by the many folkloric artefacts and decoration that surrounds not only the capital but every other city of the country. Your heart is also warmed by the hospitality and friendship of the Nicaraguan that together with their sense of humbleness and innocence gives the tourist an emotive and sincere welcome to the lands. Moreover, money is not really a big issue when you travel in Nicaragua. Although the plane ticket can get expensive depending on the season, once you arrive to the country your economy budget will grow because things are SO MUCH CHEAPER. A nice hotel in Managua, the capital, does not exceed from 60 or 70 dollars per night; a good meal can cost you around seven dollars, and a bottle of fine rum no more than ten dollars.
In my opinion, the best part of the country (and the cheapest one), is when you venture out of the capital. Managua is the metropolitan capital, yes, but, you dont go to Nicaragua to see buildings. The best part of the country is when you sand-board down a black sediment volcano, when you go surfing in a clear water beach with white sand, when you fall in love with the memory of a night filled with people, music, drinks, and an irreplaceable natural beauty
