Is it safe to travel in Nicaragua?  Since the revolution of the 1970s,has become a safe and welcoming destination for travelers. According to Lonely Planet, “…the largest country in Central America is also one of the safest.”  Travelers to any country should protect themselves from pickpockets and petty theft by leaving all valuables at home. Money should be carried in several secure locations, and travelers should stay aware of their belongings in all crowded, public places. Common sense will keep you safe and happy on any voyage abroad.

Do I need to take any medications or vaccines?  You should talk to your physician regarding any prescriptions or medications you may want to bring with you to Nicaragua. The Center for Disease Control recommends that you take an anti-malarial drug such as chlorquine in Central America. You may also find herbal remedies to protect you from malaria, bacteria, and viruses abroad. This is a very personal decision, and should only be made with the help of your doctor.

What is for dinner? Here's one idea. We can enjoy fresh-caught fish, beans, rice, salad, and plantains; fresh juice, miel de jocote, and cheese.
