Central America is becoming a well-known, easily accessible vacation destination thanks to a growing interest in Costa Rica, Panama and Belize. But lets not forget about Nicaragua when you’re planning your next vacation.

The largest country in Central America, Nicaragua has a lot to offer travellers. Head to Ometepe Island where you can hike a volcano, explore the colonial city of Grenada, learn to surf, hit the beach in San Juan del Sur or escape to the secluded Corn Islands. In addition to being packed with things to see and do, Nicaragua is also a budget-friendly destination where you won’t have to reach too deeply into your wallet for accommodations, transportation or food.

Let these photos show you just what a great vacation option Nicaragua is.
