Spend Time Out-of-doors in Nicaragua
A tropical wonderland like Nicaragua is a fantastic place to visit and tour. From the beaches and the ocean, to the bountiful land and tropical jungles, all the way to the tops of the rugged volcanoes, the area is just filled with opportunities to get out and investigate. Regardless of your preference - be it hiking, swimming, boating, or camping - you can pick your spot and pick your interest here in some locations that to this day remain largely uncharted.
Not surprisingly, hiking and nature tours are a huge draw for visitors. Tropical forests, jungles, historic towns, and even the coastline are all available to enjoy. On the uncommon side, there are dry riverbeds to walk in and explore, barren land that used to be lush forests, and there's even a butterfly farm you can tour. Regardless of what you want to see, or the type of terrain you elect to hike, or the amount expanse of adventure you want to take on, Nicaragua is your destination.
Since the country sits on the Pacific Ocean, water sports and activities are extensive here also. Sunbathing, sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving are large magnets for beach lovers. The pure volcanic lakes hold crystal clear water that not only makes for unparalleled swimming but also includes the isolation and serenity you may desire, as well. And if you're a surfer, well... you've found Nirvana. Nicaragua is home to some of the best surfing spots on the Pacific and can accommodate surfers of all abilities.
There's also camping and climbing. The many volcanoes in Nicaragua make for excellent mountain climbing experiences, with the added bonus to camp there also. Set up camp at the base of a volcano the evening before, pack up in the morning, and head for the top. If you're lucky, you've chosen to climb a volcano that has a crater lake waiting at the top, so your well- earned endeavor can pay off with a refreshing swim. Of course, if you don't want to go camping and climbing, you can always pitch a tent right on the beach, and wake up to the ocean waves and gentle breeze.
