Welcome to the land of lakes & volcanoes! Nestled between Honduras and Costa Rica, Nicaragua is Central America’s wild child – an emerging ecotourism destination, and a thrill-seeker’s paradise. Few destinations have such intense beauty, yet remained undeveloped, but this off-the-beaten-path paradise still affords travelers an array of experiences far from the tourist trail.
Wander cobblestone streets in colonial cities, climb smoking volcanoes, forge untouched rainforests, or find yourself wandering empty, jungle-thronged beaches reminiscent of the Caribbean decades ago. Where else in the world can you surf down the slopes of an active volcano?

How it Works
When to Go
The dry season (December to April) is the best time to visit, with clear skies, warm temperatures, and ideal conditions for diving, snorkeling, and jungle adventures.
The wet season (May to November) brings rain, peaking in October with potential storms, but lush landscapes and fewer visitors
Our favorite time to travel? At ROAM, we like the shoulder months of May and November, which balance fewer crowds with mostly dry weather.
