Discover Nicaragua

Nicaragua spoils you for choice. It’s a place where beaches, jungles, lakes, and volcanoes come together in ways you almost can’t believe. Every landscape you could want is just around the corner, from the laid-back surf-town energy of San Juan del Sur to the serene, twin volcanoes of Ometepe Island rising out of the largest freshwater lake in Central America. There’s the colonial charm of Granada, where you can wander down colorful streets, sip coffee in sun-dappled courtyards, and then hop over to nearby Las Isletas – a chain of tiny islands perfect for kayaking or simply floating the day away. And if it's peace you’re after, head to the Corn Islands – especially Little Corn, where there are no cars, just palm trees, clear turquoise water, and endless stretches of sand.

It’s no wonder millions of travelers are drawn here each year, eager to experience pristine beaches, awe-inspiring volcanoes, and the largest tract of primary rainforest north of the Amazon. There’s adventure in every direction, whether you’re surfing world-renowned waves, hiking through lush jungles, or exploring historic cities that have somehow kept their charm over centuries. Nicaragua’s natural beauty blends with a sense of history and culture that feels like nowhere else.

But it’s more than the scenery; it’s the people. Nicaraguans are some of the warmest folks you’ll meet, always quick with a smile or a helping hand, making you feel like you’re not just visiting – you’re home. And if you’re thinking about more than just a vacation, Nicaragua’s helpful retiree benefits program and quality universal healthcare make it surprisingly easy to settle in, too. Life here invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and soak it all in. It’s a place that opens its arms to you, making you feel like you belong.
