Nicaraguan Recreation
A tropical wonderland like Nicaragua is a memorable place to vacation and tour. From the beaches and the ocean, to the fruitful land and tropical jungles, all the way to the peaks of the rugged volcanoes, the area is just filled with opportunities to get out and roam around. Regardless of your preference - be it hiking, swimming, boating, or camping - you can choose your spot and choose your interest here in some locations that to this day remain largely unexplored.
As would be expected, hiking and nature tours are a popular 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 prefer to see, or the type of terrain you wish to hike, or the amount broad range of adventure you want to tackle, Nicaragua is your destination.
Since the country sits on the Pacific Ocean, water sports and activities are very popular 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 solitude and serenity you may crave, 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 outstanding mountain climbing experiences, with the added bonus to camp there as well. 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 beckoning at the top, so your difficult work can reward you with a soothing 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 cool breeze.
