Central America on a shoestring travel guide

Central America - Nicaragua (Chapter)

This is the Nicaragua chapter from Lonely Planet's Central America guidebook.

Nicaragua today represents booming beach breaks, volcano hiking, thrilling island paradises and laidback colonial towns. While the iconic images of idealistic young people giving their lives in the civil war have never quite disappeared, this is now the safest country in Central America, and a surprisingly easy place to travel around.

  • snack on coconuts and swim crystal-clear waters in the Corn Islands, an unspoiled Caribbean getaway
  • savor the delights of the cultured colonial towns of Granada and León
  • maps
  • transport
  • restaurants & accommodations
