How Nicaragua and Costa Rica Differ

A number of individuals argue that Nicaragua these days is what Costa Rica looked like 30 years ago. Underdeveloped infrastructure and few tourist services, however none of the huge crowds either. Also, Nicaraguans are not bored of hosting tourists so far, and even receive them sincerely.

Comparatively, cities such as Ometepe, Nicaragua are closer to what Costa Rica looked like 70 years back. There are few modern-day features like cars or appliances, clothes are still laundered in the river, and horses and carts are the common mode of transportation. On the other hand, Ometepe also has the feeling of a imaginary world — a fantasy land — where towering mountains and flourishing plant life still dominate the surroundings.

The northern mountains, made up of three distinct mountain chains, conceal quite a few impressive allures and backdrop, like hidden waterfalls and churches. Rio Coco begins from this zone and flows down to the Caribbean. Townships and parishes in the Nicaraguan mountains are ancient, constructed long before the Spanish invasion into the nation. Countless of the old settlements still hold their first names, and remain side-by-side with the adobe garrisons the Spanish built when they landed. These mountains produce a number of the greatest coffee beans and tobacco in the world.
