Comparing Nicaragua and Costa Rica
Several individuals say that Nicaragua these days is what Costa Rica looked similar to 30 years ago. Underdeveloped infrastructure and not very many traveler services, however none of the hordes of people either. Furthermore, Nicaraguans are not weary of hosting foreigners so far, and even receive them openly.
Comparatively, cities like Ometepe, Nicaragua are closer to what Costa Rica looked like 70 years ago. There are limited modern features like cars or machines, clothes are still laundered in the river, and horses and buggies are the common manner of transportation. On the other hand, Ometepe also presents the feeling of a imaginary world — a fantasy land — where soaring mountains and green foliage still dominate the backdrop.
The northern mountains, made up of three separate mountain chains, veil quite a few remarkable attractions and backdrop, like mysterious waterfalls and churches. Rio Coco starts from this zone and flows down to the Caribbean. Townships and villages in the Nicaraguan mountains are ancient, constructed long before the Spanish raid into the nation. Countless of the old settlements still keep their original names, and sit side-by-side with the adobe forts the Spanish erected at the time they landed. These mountains produce a number of the greatest coffee beans and tobacco in the world.
