Nicaragua

Nicaragua is a developing nation. There are two faces of such a developing nation, and it is your choice how to view the experience. A blessing of its not being fully “developed” as an economy is the largely untouched natural splendor that first attracted Christopher Columbus to the region 500 years ago. There is also much less evidence of wealth as most North Americans and Europeans are accustomed to seeing in their own parts of the world. Viewed as an opportunity to learn about differences, we believe that the developing nation status of Nicaragua is a plus.

Nonetheless, if evidence of poverty makes you uncomfortable, you may need to think further about whether this is the place for you. One assurance we can make is that the poverty is not as ugly as you first might see it. Nicaraguans, who have less in their personal possession on average than other people in the Western Hemisphere, are somehow the most generous. People who appear to have nothing in this country will still find a way to offer you something. That is an experience we can all learn from

I lived in Nicaragua for 3 years and, yes, it's definitely not the place to go for those uncomfortable with poverty. Nicaragua's greatest resource is its people and they make a visit worth it.
