There are many reasons why you should visit Nicaragua. It is an absolutely gorgeous country located in Central America, boasting beautiful Caribbean beaches, surfing, hiking, and incredible architecture. The lesser-travelled country is in my top 5 countries I’ve ever visited!
From the beautiful Corn Islands, to the stunning city of Léon, to the surf town of San Juan del Sur and the bustling city of Managua, there’s certainly places to go for every travel taste!
Here are 15 of my best photos that are sure to convince you to add Nicaragua to your bucket list!

Managua
Admire the stunning views from the plane as you fly into Managua.
After some rest, adventure to Orgullo de mi País, where you will find stunning views of the lake!
Corn Islands
Take a local flight to the stunning Corn Islands, located off of the Caribbean coast.
And admire the beauty of the beaches that the island has to offer, with almost no other tourists around!
The two islands, Big Corn and Little Corn, are lesser-known Caribbean destinations. This allows you to get a true Caribbean experience without oversaturated tourism!
You can even try out scuba diving in the beautiful reefs that surround the islands!
Léon
Explore the second-largest city in the country, Léon and admire the beautiful architecture around the city.
Hike up an active volcano with a plank of wood, trying to not be blown away by the strong winds…
…see how quickly you ride the wooden board down!
Ometepe Island
Hop on a ferry and admire the beauty of Lake Nicaragua.
And visit the stunning Ometepe Island, situated in Lake Nicaragua. The island is formed by two large volcanos!
Take a canoe ride out into the beautiful lake.
Hike along incredible trails leading to quaint waterfall spots.
And enjoy the incredible sunsets around the small island.
San Juan del Sur
Enjoy some fresh coconut water at one of the stunning beaches in San Juan del Sur.
Or try your hand at surfing!

Wow, stunning photos! I have never been. Being unable to travel (and in a landlocked state) really makes me miss the ocean! Someday…

How would you assess the crime and corruption situation there? Did you feel comfortable with the culture?

The only place where I felt I had to be careful was in Managua. Every other city I went to felt very safe and welcoming!

Great photos and post! And I agree that it is a beautiful place to visit, having done so twice since I “Retired in Costa Rica” next door and as a bird photographer I found the birding terrific in the five places I visited. I would advise staying out of the capital right now until the current unrest settles down. Check out my photo gallery for photos of my two trips there at my name dot com. ¡Pura Vida!
