What kind of country is Nicaragua?

Nicaragua is a Latin American country located in Central America, bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.

The ruins of León Viejo, said to be the oldest city from the Spanish colonial era and a World Heritage site. Managua, the capital, is filled with attractions such as the Rubén Darío Theater, the Cultural Palace, and the black statue made of tin of Sandino. The León Cathedral, a World Heritage site known for its Antigua Guatemala Baroque architecture, was built over many years starting in 1747. The Caribbean coast offers spots for surfing and diving, as well as the Corn Islands. Ometepe Island offers volcanic trekking.

In recent years, Nicaragua has rapidly developed as a tourist destination, offering various ways to enjoy it, from cultural spots where you can glimpse Latin American history from the European colonial era to ecotourism spots that make use of its rich nature.

List everything you want to try and consult with a local coordinator to realize your own special journey.

What to see in Nicaragua.

  • Leon

    Classic

    area

    The official name, which no one uses, is Santiago de los Caballeros de León. It has flourished as an academic center since a university was established in 1813. The old town, including the León Cathedral, retains Spanish colonial-style buildings, where Spanish architecture and Latin American regional characteristics are well integrated. The colorful streets typical of Latin America are also enjoyable spots.

  • Semana Santa

    Classic

    event

    The festival of Easter, the largest Catholic religious event, known as Easter in America. It takes place sometime between March and April each year, with participants wearing costumes and holding carnivals. It's a festival quite different from those in Japan, so be sure to experience it.

  • Ometepe Island

    A hidden gem

    spot

    An island in Lake Nicaragua, composed of two volcanoes. The island features wetlands, cloud forests, and tropical rainforests, where you can see various flora and fauna not found in Japan. It is also a treasure trove of pre-Columbian petroglyphs (carvings on rocks and caves). Many activities such as volcanic trekking are well-developed. All environmental conservation and tour offerings are conducted by local residents, making it known as a site for practicing ecotourism.

Various concerns about traveling to Nicaragua.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
The currency of Nicaragua is the Nicaraguan Córdoba.
In urban areas, Visa and MasterCard credit cards can be used. However, in some rural areas or markets, having cash is more reassuring. Since exchanging currency within Japan or from Japanese yen is difficult, it is recommended to bring US dollars from Japan and exchange them for local currency at the local airport or exchange offices.
Tips
As in Europe and America, about 10% is customary in restaurants where service charges are not included.
For porters and room service at hotels, about 1 US dollar is the standard.
Public Safety
Robbery incidents are frequent in Nicaragua, especially street robberies by two people on a motorcycle in urban areas, occurring both day and night. Many cases of pickpocketing on public transportation have also been reported.
Resisting can sometimes escalate the damage, so be sure to pay attention and avoid areas you shouldn't go to.
Clothing
The climate varies slightly depending on the area you visit, but it is generally hot, humid, and warm.
Simple summer clothing is recommended, but having a jacket to put on for air conditioning is reassuring. Sun protection and measures against sunburn are also advisable due to the harsh sunlight.
Things you should bring with you
Multi-plug, regular medication, mobile battery, overseas travel insurance, sun protection items, insect repellent
Visa availability and arrangements
Japanese nationals do not need to obtain a visa in advance if their stay in the four Central American countries (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua) is within a total of 90 days. They can stay in Nicaragua by purchasing a tourist card (10 USD) at the time of immigration inspection.
If you plan to stay for more than 90 days, you will need to apply for an extension of stay at the immigration office.
Additionally, if you leave Nicaragua and re-enter without extending your stay within the country, you must exit to a country other than the aforementioned three Central American countries (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras) to be granted a new stay period upon re-entry. Please be cautious.
Required vaccinations
There are no mandatory requirements for travel.

However, travelers over the age of one from countries with a risk of yellow fever infection are required to present a yellow fever vaccination certificate (Yellow Card).
It is also recommended to get vaccinated against malaria before traveling.
 

Areas of interest other than El Salvador.
