Nicaragua is a diverse Central American surf destination that has a lot to offer the adventuresome traveler.

The country's natural resources are abundant with 12 volcanoes, several of the largest lakes in the world and its beautiful Pacific and Caribbean beaches. For the outdoor enthusiast there is definitely a lot of opportunity to get out and explore.
Nicaragua has made great strides in the last ten years to improve its infrastructure and it shows. The roads are well paved, people are upbeat about the future and in general things are moving forward in a positive direction. Still as in any third world country some thing are going to take longer than expected and sometimes there can be unexpected changes.
Tourism is definitely on the rise and most likely will continue to increase for the next decade. In addition, the government has put together a tax exemption law that strongly encourages both local and foreign investments in tourist facilities. (No taxes for 10-15 years for tourist related hotels, restaurants, and tour services). Currently Nicaragua could be considered a great destination for a traveler who has maybe been to other Latin American destinations, but is looking for a more diverse and less crowded alternative.
WEATHER
Nicaragua is known as the land of lakes and volcanoes.
Located in the west of the country, the Pacific lowlands consist of a broad, hot, fertile plain. Punctuating this plain are several large volcanoes of the Cordillera Los Maribios mountain range, including Mombacho just outside Granada, and Momotombo near León. The lowland area runs from the Gulf of Fonseca to Nicaragua's Pacific border with Costa Rica south of Lake Nicaragua. Lake Nicaragua is the largest freshwater lake in Central America (20th largest in the world).
Most of the Pacific zone is tierra caliente, the "hot land" of tropical Spanish America at elevations under 2,000 feet (610 m). Temperatures remain virtually constant throughout the year, with highs ranging between 85 and 90 °F (29.4 and 32.2 °C). After a dry season lasting from November to April, rains begin in May and continue to October, giving the Pacific Lowlands 40 to 60 inches (1,016 to 1,524 mm) of precipitation.
