Here at Justifi, we’ve run numerous successful trips to the beautiful country of Nicaragua. Our days are often filled with the perfect mix of exploring its natural beauty, diving into the rich culture and of course overwhelming loads of fun and adventure. Nearly every time our trips to Nicaragua end, we begin looking forward to the next time we can return to this unique place that we’ve quickly grown to love so much. Here are just some of the many reasons we cannot wait to head back there…
1. Conflict in Nicaragua? That's SO 1979...
Of course anytime that you decide to venture outside of your home country, safety naturally becomes a concern. Well, as far as Nicaragua goes, visitors will be pleased to find out that long gone are your parents’ days when President Regan was trying to fight the ‘Commies’ in Central America. The country now has a stable government, positive U.S. relations and on top of that, some of the friendliest people and locals you will ever meet!
2. This Country is Breathtaking...
Known as the Land of Lakes and Volcanoes where visitors are able to climb nearly 50 active and dormant volcanoes or take a dip in one of the many crater lakes, Nicaragua continues to be a country of unmatched beauty. Combine these two different sites to see along with an abundance of lush rainforests, diverse plant and wildlife and of course some incredible beaches and you’ve got a country that not only allows you to gaze upon its natural beauty but experience it up close and personal.
3. Unforgettable, Pristine Beaches...
Whether you like to dive into the breaking waves, head out on a surfboard or simply dig your toes in the warm sand while you soak up the sun, Nicaragua has proven to be a beach bum’s paradise. Over 189 miles of Pacific Coast and 279 miles of Caribbean Coast, the beaches seem to be breathtakingly endless. Not only are they great during the day, but they’re maybe even more mesmerizing once the sun starts to dip below the horizon. Get your Smartphones and cameras ready to capture some amazing pictures your friends and family back home most likely won’t even believe is real!
4. It's an Off-The-Beaten-Path Paradise for Adventure Sports...
Rappelling down a 120-foot waterfall, anyone?
Afraid Nicaragua just isn’t able to deliver that blood-pumping thrill of a lifetime experience you’ve been craving? Well, think again because this country is filled with adventure sports that provide exactly that! Not only can visitors sled down a 2388-foot cone on top of a volcano (yes, we are serious) but you can also get the chance to rappel down waterfalls, zip-line through a forest canopy or even have a go at surfing for the first time. Nicaragua will undoubtedly not only give you an amazing adrenaline rush but it will provide unforgettable experiences you’ll be talking about for years to come.
5. Experience Some of the Oldest Spanish Colonial Cities in the Americas...
Granada is one of the oldest Spanish colonial cities in the Americas.
One of the most beautiful cities we are able to spend a great deal of time in is the city of Granada. American tourists seem to flock here for a chance to taste their incredible food and experience the tranquil nightlife the city has to offer. Most days can be spent strolling down the cobblestone roads, exploring the culture and meeting locals, taking in the beauty and of course ending the day finding the perfect spot on Calle La Calzada Street that boasts over 30 restaurants and bars. Who knows, this Spanish colonial city may just be your new favorite!
6. Fiestas Are Always Better on the Beach...

Get ready to meet other travelers like yourself while you simply take in and enjoy being a part of the beauty and excitement that every inch of Nicaragua seems to be overflowing with.
