Adventure destination

Nicaragua

Nicaragua is one of Central America's better volcano-and-jungle adventure countries, with summit hikes, crater landscapes, surf, and island travel combining well in one trip. Works well for travelers who want accessible active days and a less polished, more independent feel than Costa Rica.
