Nicaragua in the News
Nicaragua has endured many hardships over the years from war to natural disasters. This beautiful country has now turned around as has been changing for the better over the last nearly 20 years. Tourism is now the number one industry, the crime rate is the lowest in all of Central America and one of the lowest in the world, foreign investment is at an all time high, the government is democratic and stable, and the Nicaraguans are some of the friendliest people on the planet. Foreigners are welcomed to this paradise with open arms. The international press has taken notice of the extraordinary changes.
