This staggeringly beautiful country is emerging as an idyllic vacation spot.

Nicaragua currently enjoys the laudable distinction of being the second safest country in the western hemisphere (next to Canada).  

This fact is made all the more remarkable by the nation´s continued fight to overcome its less enviable distinction as the second poorest country in the western hemisphere (next to Haiti).

In Northern Nicaragua you can seek adventure in the coffee country of Matagalpa, as well as hike volcanoes, explore huge inland lakes, enjoy undiscovered surf breaks on the Pacific coast, and the isolated tranquility of the wild Atlantic coast.

Cultural exchange, poetry, wilderness, adventure, and leisure await you!
