Explore Nicaragua’s Ecological and BiodiversityAuthor: KadmielNicaragua is home to a rich and diverse set of geometrics, biodiversity and a stunning array of plants and animals. Nicaragua is one of the largest of the Latin American countries and is filled with 7 different types of forested lands. Each forested region of the country contains its own bio and ecological diversity. You can explore the subtropical dry forest, tropical rain forest, mangrove forest, wetlands, grass savanna and tree savanna. Each side of the country differs from another so if you plan on living or visiting there make sure you plan a trip across the entire country so you can see and experience it all.
The country to the central and middle area is supreme volcano watching with many lakes, lagoons, and natural ponds. Within this landscape of formed mountains and volcanoes are a number of dormant mountains where on top you can see the crater lakes the two largest are called Lake Nicaragua and Lake Managua. From atop these mountains you can see out into the pacific were a number of doted islands are located. Ometepe Island was originally built by two volcanoes that now lay dormant but there are still a few in the area that are still active. The climate throughout the country remains fairly constant and hot. Not so much uncomfortable hot unless your along the coast or westward dry lands. But the weather does take some getting used to if you are not use to having dry or humid conditions change rapidly from one day to the next. With these types of environments and weather patterns it is perfect for some. Nicaragua boasts some of the most creative and dazzling display of wildlife in Central America. There are 1500 species of animals and 12000. Even more so there are routine trips to Nicaragua because there are still discovers made of new species of plants and animals and still undiscovered worlds yet to be seen. Some of the larger species you will encounter while hiking or driving or camping in Nicaragua are panthers, jaguars’, pumas, deer’s, eagles, and of course toucans. Of course we cannot forget the different types of monkey and amphibians you will also encounter. So be weary of the animals and remember to take precautions when in the jungles. But most of all remember to leave it as you found it and not add to its still unsettled destruction by local land owners. Nicaragua’s government has done a tremendous job in trying to protect a lot of it ecological and biodiversity in the country. They have the third largest rain forest preserve on the planet with numerous other protected areas. But, because of overpopulation poverty, and economic necessity these areas are still in danger of vanishing off the planet. The major exports from Honduras continue to burn the rain forest for their coffee and sugar Cain along with many other products. So just remember on your trip through Nicaragua’s to keep its nature the same as you left it. That way others behind you can enjoy this wonderfully diverse rainforest and mountains as well.

Who You Callin’ a Beach? the Top 3 Nicaraguan PlayasAuthor: Scott TaylorWho You Callin’ A Beach “Nicaragua has beaches?” When a friend recently asked me this question, I was shocked! Well known for its steamy, dense jungles and mountain trails, many Americans are just now discovering what is perhaps Nicaragua’s best kept secret: Its breathtaking beaches!
With beaches on both coasts (and many along its numerous lakes and rivers), Nicaragua is a beach lover’s paradise. With over 190 miles of beaches on Pacific Coast and 280 miles on the Caribbean Coast, if it’s fun, sun, and sand you’re after, you really can’t go wrong in Nicaragua. Once you experience a Nicaraguan playa, you might never want to leave…but that’s okay since there’s never been a better time to invest in local real estate than right now.
From white sand to stony shorelines, from lavishly developed to wooden shacks along the shore, there is something for every beach lover in this land of twin coastlines. To make sure you curl your bare toes in softest sand, take a look at my top 3 picks for your perfect piece of paradise.
Montelimar – Luxury at Its Best One of Nicaragua’s largest and busiest beach resort towns and arguably one of the best places to relax on the Pacific’s white sandy beaches in all of Central America, Montelimar has the finest collection of luxurious resorts, hotels, and casinos – each designed to cater to your every desire.
Whether you are an average Joe or the President of the United States, you can expect to be treated like royalty by a friendly people everywhere – from eating in a fine restaurant or catching up on some much-needed sleep in your hotel room. Service is first rate and accommodations rival those found in the best beach destinations around the world.
If you’re looking for a pampered vacation spot, filled from start to finish with all the rest and relaxation you desire, then Montelimar is the best sandy spot for you.
If you’re looking for activity, Montelimar is for you. From horseback riding, scuba diving, and kayaking, you will find none better in the world. And, if you’re up for hanging ten, the locals can point you in the direction of great surfing hot spots, too. Indeed, possibilities are endless on this side of paradise, and, if on the rare occasion you do not have a blast, at least you will go home with a nice tan.
La Boquita Beach – Inexpensive, Clean, and Colorful With its rocky and sandy beaches, La Boquita has earned a sparkling reputation as one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Nicaragua. Located on the Pacific coast, La Boquita is filled with chic hotels, world-class restaurants and bars - offering an all-inclusive vacation experience.
As an established destination, tourists can feel comfortable knowing that they’ll find the modern amenities you’re looking for and transportation, accommodations, and day-to-day necessities are all easily accessed and enjoyed.
Important: If you cannot tolerate large crowds of people, this is not the place for you, especially around national holidays. But, surprisingly, despite being overrun by a constant stream of tourists, La Boquita is touted as one of the cleanest beaches in the country, and even with the high-class accommodations, you’ll find it’s really inexpensive, too.
Lake Nicaragua You don’t have to be on the coast to enjoy the beach. Nicaragua is home to many lakes, lagoons, and rivers that offer incredible beach experiences. The most popular lake in Nicaragua is Lago de Nicaragua, or Lake Nicaragua, also known as the Sweet Sea.
Like the country itself, Lake Nicaragua is the largest lake in all of Central America. Even though this is a freshwater lake, it still contains an abundance of sea dwellers like sharks, swordfish, and tarpon. Grab your snorkeling gear and get ready for fun (sharks optional)!
If you’re up for an adventure, aren’t a fan of large crowds, and are ready for a quiet retreat into one of the world’s most beautiful and lush island landscapes, then Isla de Ometepe is a must.
As you can see, Nicaragua is much more than humid rainforests and volcanoes…it’s also a beach lover’s paradise. But, shhhh, don’t let the secret out. Let’s keep it just between us, okay? So, next time you’re planning a sandy vacation (or even a permanent move), put Nicaragua at the top of your list and be sure to visit one of these incredible beach paradises.
