Explore Nicaragua Geography
Nicaragua is situated in Central America, and takes up a good part of it. It's edges span from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, north is Honduras, and south is Costa Rica. The country's topography is really varied, from volcanoes, plains and lakes on the Pacific side to tropical jungles on the Caribbean side. The northern portion is mountainous, offering rich soil and perfect growing conditions for coffee and tobacco.
Five million residents inhabit Nicaragua, with almost 1.5 million of the people staying in the capital city of Managua. The country lived through a disturbance in the late 1970's, but has established and upheld a stable democratic government since the 1980's. A president and congress is nominated every 5 years. The official language of the country is Spanish, but English is articulated commonly as well.
Being in a tropical climate, there are actually only two seasons — summer and winter — or as they're often frequently described, 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 differ as wildly as the topography — hot and dry in the west, hot and humid in the east, and cool and humid in the north.
Nearly all of the progress, expansion and groundwork advances have happened in the western part of the nation. But the development has remained well-structured and developed. The nation's wealth still relies deeply on agriculture, on the other hand the country sends abroad gold, silver, and timber. The vacation industry is becoming a larger part of the growth of Nicaragua.
