Explore Nicaragua Geography
Nicaragua is situated in Central America, and takes up a good section of it. It's boundaries transverse from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, north is Honduras, and south is Costa Rica. The country's scenery is really varied, from volcanoes, plains and lakes on the Pacific side to tropical jungles on the Caribbean side. The northern portion is mountainous, providing rich soil and great growing conditions for coffee and tobacco.
Five million people inhabit Nicaragua, with almost 1.5 million of the residents residing in the capital city of Managua. The country went through a disturbance in the late 1970's, but has created and upheld an established democratic government since the 1980's. A president and congress is elected every 5 years. The official language of the country is Spanish, but English is spoken commonly too.
Located in a tropical climate, there are actually just two seasons — summer and winter — or as they're regularly referred, the dry season and the rainy season. Summer is the dry season, and it runs from November to April. Winter is the rainy season, and it runs from May through October. The atmospheric states fluctuates as drastically as the land — hot and dry in the west, hot and humid in the east, and cool and humid in the north.
The majority of the advancement, development and groundwork advances have occurred in the western section of the nation. But the growth has been well-structured and developed. The economy , however, relies deeply on agriculture, but also the country sends abroad gold, silver, and timber. Tourism is becoming a bigger portion of the progress of Nicaragua.
