Description
Nicaragua is a small country in the heart of Central-America. It is called the "land of lakes and volcanoes." The eleven volcanoes and several large lakes provide an abundance of natural beauty. The Nicaraguan people are warm and caring despite the fact that they have suffered much in recent years.
Managua is the country’s capital, with a population of just over one million. The climate is hot and tropical. During the rainy season (May to November), it rains most afternoons for short periods. Beautiful beaches along the Pacific coast are an hour’s drive from Managua. Northern Nicaragua is mountainous and contains the largest intact rain forest in Central-America. The Atlantic coast is virtually inaccessible from the capital, except by air and is home to several ethnic and indigenous groups.
Statistically, Nicaragua is considered the poorest Spanish-speaking country in the world (second overall to Haiti in our hemisphere). Yet even the statistics do not reveal the depth of pain and suffering that the people of Nicaragua have experienced over the last 31 years!
