Stunning Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea coastlines, dense jungles and exciting mountains – all this and more make Nicaragua a remote and mesmerizing destination.
Expeditions take teams through fascinating colonial cities and remote indigenous villages (for meaningful service projects), along ancient trekking routes (where you can summit 5 of the county’s best volcanoes in just 5 days), and include some well-earned time for R&R on the beautiful beaches.
Sound about right? Well then, Nicaragua is the destination for you.
