Virtual SA: Nicaragua (overview)

 

This week we will explore Nicaragua.


You are HERE.

The largest country in Central America and bordered on two sides by beaches.

It also has volcanoes, lakes, and the largest tropical rain forest.

The name means "Here by the water".

Its original name was  Macuilmiquiztli, which translates to Five Deaths.

...try not to think about it...

 Most of the people here are Spanish...and speak Spanish...this is one country where everyone doesn't always speak English...so brushing up on your high-school Spanish (or a handbook of phrases) is recommended.

The predominate religion is Catholic.

While here we will check out the beaches...and the rain forest...try some of the cuisine...learn some slang...board surf a side of a volcano (this is the only country in the world who offers this activity)...ride a Chicken Bus...and whatever else catches our fancy as we explore!

Come along!
