In the highlands, attractions include Masaya’s volcanic summit, to Esteli known for its cigar production, to the ancient villages of La Meseta. The Selva Negra Cloud Forest, a natural park, is set in the beautiful northern highlands.
Lake Nicaragua lush islands include Ometepe Island with its volcanoes and antiquities; and Solentiname, an artists’ hub and doorway to verdant Los Guatuzos Wildlife Refuge. Southern Nicaragua’s Pacific coast beaches and turtle nesting areas remain largely undiscovered.
The Pacific Coast is rapidly becoming a popular surfing destination. The scenery is lush and tropical with magnificent beaches with open air restaurants and palapas, crescent shaped coves and quaint villages. Besides surfing, fishing is great here. San Juan Del Sur is a fun city that feels like Costa Rica 30 years ago.
