Travel Central America: Nicaragua vs Costa Rica

A number of individuals argue that Nicaragua today is what Costa Rica looked like 30 years ago. Underdeveloped infrastructure and not very many traveler features, however none of the huge crowds either. Furthermore, Nicaraguans are not weary of seeing tourists yet, and even welcome them sincerely.

Comparatively, townships like Ometepe, Nicaragua are closer to what Costa Rica looked like seven decades before. There are not many modern-day comforts such as cars or machines, clothes are still laundered in the river, and horses and carts are the usual style of transportation. Then again, Ometepe also develops the aura of a imaginary world — a fantasy land — where towering mountains and flourishing foliage still dominate the scenery.

The northern mountains, consisting of three isolated mountain chains, veil a handful impressive allures and scenery, like concealed waterfalls and churches. Rio Coco starts from this region and flows down to the Caribbean. Communities and villages in the Nicaraguan mountains are ancient, made far before the Spanish raid into the country. Lots of the ancient settlements still keep their first names, and remain side-by-side with the adobe garrisons the Spanish built when they landed. These mountains produce a lot of the finest coffee beans and tobacco in the world.
