The safest, most exciting, and most underrated destination in Central America — blessed with volcanoes, crater lakes, colonial cities, and the friendliest people in the region.
Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America, with a population of about five million and a land area of 130,700 square kilometers. It is situated between Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south, with access to the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West.
Nicaragua has been blessed by nature with the most active and dormant volcanoes, freshwater lakes, untouched forests, and crater lakes in the whole region. In 2016, a team of scientists from the Geographic Channel visited and filmed a documentary about these majestic volcanoes.
After decades of political and military conflicts, peace was established in 1990 — giving the country a new perspective regarding economics and a positive image to the world. Since then, thousands of travelers from many countries have visited and enjoyed not only the climate of peace and safety, but the beautiful, yet undiscovered cities and tropical beaches Nicaragua offers.
From the green northern mountains to the Pacific coast and the Caribbean, Nicaragua offers an incredible diversity of landscapes, cultures, and adventures.
Green cool mountains, nature reserves, waterfalls, and coffee farms
Beautiful beaches, colonial cities, and the most volcanoes in the region
Peaceful rivers, virgin jungles, and the Corn Islands — Islas del Maíz
Plus fantastic archipelagos and islands within the Big Lake Cocibolca and to the south — Nicaragua is a country of incredible biodiversity, a multilingual, multicultural and multiethnic population, and a great vocation for poetry, traditional music, and literature.
Since peace was established in 1990, Nicaragua has gained a solid reputation as a stable, democratic, and safe country for investors, tourists, and students alike. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have highlighted Nicaragua’s infrastructure — the best roads in Central America and the largest public hospital network in the region.
Nicaragua has the most active and dormant volcanoes in all of Central America — so impressive that the Geographic Channel filmed a documentary about them in 2016. Add pristine freshwater lakes, untouched jungle forests, crater lakes, and unspoiled sandy beaches, and you have a destination unlike any other in the region.
Nicaraguans are known for their warmth, simplicity, and hospitality. The country has a great vocation for poetry, traditional music, and literature, with a multilingual, multicultural, and multiethnic population. Colonial cities, indigenous culture, and centuries of history make Nicaragua one of the most culturally rich destinations in Central America.
Like other Central American and Caribbean countries, Nicaragua has a tropical climate characterized by two defined seasons.
The dry season typically ranges from December to April — the most popular time to visit and study Spanish. Clear skies, sunny days, and ideal conditions for excursions to volcanoes, lakes, and beaches.
Pacific Coast 24°C – 34°C
The rainy season runs from May to November. Rain typically falls in the afternoon, leaving mornings — perfect for Spanish classes — clear and fresh. A lush, green, and beautiful time to be in Nicaragua.
Northern highlands 16°C – 20°C
November to February offers the coolest and most comfortable temperatures, especially in the mountainous northern towns. However, Spanish immersion courses run year-round — any month is a great time to study and explore.
