One of the region's best emerging travel destinations, with its troublesome days of war and strife long gone, Nicaragua is welcoming travelers keen to experience its manifold delights. Whether it's well-preserved colonial cities you're after or vast tracts of untouched wilderness, you'll find them here – all served up with a touch of the Caribbean coastline (the only area currently drawing significant numbers of tourists). But whatever brings you to this cheap, cheerful and undeniably beautiful destination, Nicaragua is certainly up there with El Salvador and Honduras as one of the places to get to soon before it becomes a footprint on the travelers’' trail.
