Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. A land of varying terrains and landscapes, Nicaragua offers so many different activities. With the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other, you have a choice of beaches, such as Playa Maderas and Playa El Coco, to surf, swim or relax on the sand. Head to Corn Island or Little Corn Island for a day of diving or snorkelling. You will get a peek into the colonial past of the country when you visit Léon and Granada, with their cobblestone streets, cute churches and cafés. For some thrills, hike an active volcano, such as the Masaya Volcano.
