Nicaragua trip

Beyond you can find the red-and-black Volcan Momotombo which tower above Lago de Managua, with its counterpoint of Sandino looming its massive iron silhouette over the landscape and being the defining feature of the Managua skyline.

In terms of cities, there’s proud Leon who beckons with its churches and museum, while the cloud forests, froth with waterfalls and incredible coffee. In the northern part of the country you can find Central America’s mightiest rivers starting their journey across the autonomous and indigenous-owned rolling hills of the Caribbean Coast, to the sea.
