Nicaragua

Active volcanoes, colonial cities like Granada and León, and two very different coasts make Nicaragua a land of sharp contrasts. Atlas Lume suggests reading Nicaragua through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Managua works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Spanish, the currency is Córdoba nicaragüense and the generally recommended time to go is November to April.
