Nicaragua is a country rich in history and culture and a place of absolute natural beauty. Music and theater are integral to the local heritage and are a part of important festivals such as Palo de Mayo that transports guests to a bygone era. When not attending a festival or other cultural event, visitors can experience the natural beauty of Nicaragua from its seasides to its forests. The long list of volcanoes, including the San Cristobal Volcano, and an even longer list of lakes headed by Lake Nicaragua, make this country an adventurer’s delight.
It has recently become popular as a destination for recreational fishing. The waters of Nicaragua and annual fishing tournaments held during September entice budding fishermen of all kinds to visit this country. To get the most out of your fishing experience, stay in one of these top fishing lodges in Nicaragua.
