Let’s be honest. For too many people, Nicaragua is thought to be a dangerous country that should ultimately be avoided. However, most travelers to the country have discovered its charm and wind up falling head over sandals for the place! Yes, crime exists. Yes, poverty is abundant. But don’t let that stop you from going and experiencing the colorful cathedrals, adrenaline-filled tours, volcano views, and surf friendly beaches! Here are 10 photos to inspire you to visit Nicaragua.

I can’t tell you how badly I want to travel in Nicaragua and these photos has made my want worst! ? haha.. Seriously though, I love these photos and I’ve been obsessed with Nicaragua for 6 years and still haven’t been able to go. I really need to get myself there at some point haha.
Yes! Go! Haha Nicaragua is one of the most memorable places I’ve been!
Nica is indeed amazing
Isn’t it?! Have you been to any of the areas in these photos?
Yes, poverty is everywhere in Nicaragua. But I’ve learned that the poorest are the most welcoming. I went years ago to see Nicaragua and I still have that in my heart as an amazing place for it’s great people. I’ll be there again in a couple of weeks or months… and I’m curious to see how / if it has changed much.
Love to see those pictures of yours.
Couldn’t agree more! Oftentimes, the people I meet that are the happiest and the warmest, are the people that have the least. I went from Mexico to Panama on this trip and Nicaragua was definitely one of the most memorable, especially for its hospitality! Have an amazing time!
