Nicaragua Hotels - Best prices, best places

Nicaragua is a sovereign and democratic nation in Central America. Although it is the largest republic in the region, it is also the least densely populated. The country is bordered on the north by Honduras and on south by Costa Rica. Its western coastline is on the Pacific Ocean, while the east side of the country is on the Caribbean Sea.

Nicaragua is bordered by Costa Rica on the south and Honduras on the north, the balmy Caribbean Sea the east. It is a warm land of lakes and mountains, rivers and volcanoes, sea and sun.

Nicaragua has three distinct geographical regions: the Pacific Lowlands, the North-Central Mountains and the Atlantic Lowlands.

Nicaragua's tropical east coast is very different from the rest of the country. The climate is predominantly tropical with high temperature and high humidity. Around the area's principal city of Bluefields, English is widely spoken along with the official Spanish and the population more closely resembles that found in many typical Caribbean ports than the rest of Nicaragua, which further enriches the diversity of this country.

Nature lovers will find much to pique their interest in the tropical forests of the area. A great variety of birds can be observed including eagles, turkeys, toucans, parakeets and macaws. Animal life in the area includes several different species of monkeys, ant-eaters, white-tailed deer and tapirs.

A short flight away from Bluefields are the Corn Islands. These small, beautiful islands are fringed with white coral and are a popular resort area for Central Americans. Activities including bathing, surfing, fishing, and eating seafood, and the small island even has a mountain to climb.
