Western Nicaragua Travel Guide

You will certainly not be wanting for adventure on the pacific coast of Nicaragua. At the collision point between two tectonic plates, the northern part of the region has some of the highest volcanic activity on Earth. A short trip south takes you into the capital region, centered around Managua. If the bustle of the city isn't your cup of tea, consider the southern pacific coast, a narrow stretch of land bordered by the Pacific Ocean and Lago Nicaragua. You can surf remote spots along the coast, party in San Juan del Sur, or ride a motorbike around iconic Isla de Ometepe.
