If you are looking for a fun and family friendly holiday then consider this incredible country. Here’s all it has to offer:

Surf Lessons for Everyone

Consider picking an all inclusive package so you can enjoy surf lessons in Nicaragua without any worries. Those who do not want to surf can enjoy the country’s 910 km coast line offering stunning views.

Enjoy The Colonial Beauty 

Nicaragua’s Granada is the go-to place for tourists who want to enjoy the country’s colonial side. The city offers interesting architecture and splendor with cobbled streets and bright colors.

Make sure to visit historical places such as Convento y Museo San Francisco, Central America’s oldest church, and Iglesia de la Merced, another stunning church. When done exploring these beautiful attractions, take a walk and enjoy the city’s architecture, cobbled streets, and colorful buildings. 

Explore Wildlife

Nicaragua offers a very high level of biodiversity and while some parks are not open to the public, you can book wildlife tours and explore the Amazon Rainforest. 

The country gives visitors a chance to get close to wild animals, including jaguars, monkeys, and more.

Get a Little Adventurous

Those who want to have more fun can try hiking, kayaking, boating, and more. There are ‘’adrenaline’ tours for people who want to skip the beaten path and try new things such as volcano boarding and ziplining.

Volcano tours are very popular in the country and you can even choose volcano night tours and get a chance to look at volcanoes from a different perspective.

Enjoy Delicious Meals

Nicaragua is known for offering delicious meals. Seafood is common in the country but you will also find other meats.

Gallo pinto is the most popular food in the country. It consists of fried and cooked beans and rice, combined with a variety of vegetables and herbs. Moreover, we suggest that you experience the country’s street food such as vigorón. 

This delicious dish consists of chopped vegetables, boiled yuca, and fried pork and is known for offering very unique flavors. Some other incredible dishes to try include Indio viejo, arroz con pescado, and arroz a la plancha.

Planning Your Trip to Nicaragua

The best time to visit the country is between November and May when the temperature is between 77 and 88 degrees. However, other months may also be suitable.  

The country is affordable and decent hotels start as low as $200. You might be able to save money if you choose a Surf n Stay plan, i.e.: a hotel that offers surf lessons in Nicaragua.
