Nicaragua, the land of volcanoes and lakes, promises a profoundly authentic experience for travelers looking to experience the road less traveled. The country’s ecological and cultural treasures are not primped and primed for mass tourism but instead reflect a natural beauty and personality that are neither pompous nor ordinary – from primordial volcanoes rising from the dramatic landscape to utterly deserted beaches and tropical forests brimming with wildlife. 

Nicaragua’s indigenous and Spanish Colonial heritage, mixed with luxurious locally owned lodges and eco-resorts, delivers big on awe, no matter where you travel. The blend of cultures, history, and natural resources are the perfect ingredients to create a robust artisan heritage. A visit to the Masaya market or a walk through the streets of Granada and León, and you’re sure to take home some of the beautifully handcrafted items on display. 

Religious and popular festivals celebrated throughout the year also demonstrate the country’s diverse cultures in a lively display of colors, earthy rhythms, and exuberant singing and dancing unique to Nicaragua. Let our expert travel curators design a genuine Nicaraguan journey guaranteed to enchant.
