In addition to the beauty of reigning Miss Sheynnis Palacios, many people are also interested in the country called Nicaragua. This country is not a beauty powerhouse, but it overcame many strong "competitors" to make its mark at Miss Universe 2023.

It is known that Nicaragua's official name is the Republic of Nicaragua, a country in Central America. It is the largest country in Central America, but also the least densely populated, with a population comparable to that of its smaller neighbors. The country borders Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south.

Although a poor country, Nicaragua has many interesting things waiting for travel enthusiasts to explore. One-fifth of Nicaragua's area is forests and natural reserves. This means you can freely explore forests, beaches and natural islands, untouched by human impact.

Here are 9 typical reasons why you want to explore this relatively wild country.

Super cheap food

Nicaragua is famous for its street food. Just spend $2 and you can buy pounds of food wrapped in banana leaves or put in plastic bags with napkins. There are many sidewalk dishes made from beef, chicken, grilled cheese or vegetables for you to choose from.

Driving here is very "happy"

As a country that is still quite wild and has few people, you can comfortably drive for hours on the road without seeing a trace of humans. Traffic jam? That's so wild!

Explore forgotten places

There are many interesting activities in the city and suburban areas. However, you will be "hypnotized" immediately when you encounter architectural works that have been forgotten for many years.

Country of 25 volcanoes

Nicaragua is often referred to as "the country of Lakes and Volcanoes". Most of the volcanoes in Nicaragua contain many interesting features for tourists to explore.

You must definitely come to Mount Masaya

Masaya is called "La Boca del Infierno" or "The Door to Hell" by the locals. The volcano has always been a fear of the indigenous people and the Spaniards living here. In the 16th century, a Spanish monk built a giant cross at the crater of a volcano that often had unusual eruptions and red lava flows in the hope of driving away evil. Tourists coming here can follow the brick road near the crater to take photos and participate in horseback riding tours and explore caves at night.

Majestic view from Mumbacho volcano

For those who love climbing, Mumbacho is the ideal place in Nicaragua to challenge yourself. After a long journey to conquer the mountain, you will admire the magnificent natural scenery here.

There are many churches

In Nicaragua there are more than 85 large and small churches of many different religions. Each church has impressive architecture, creating a special attraction for the Central American country.

Beautiful beaches

Nicaragua possesses many beautiful beaches, from dreamy white sand beaches to charming sand beaches. The beaches here are also ideal locations for those who are passionate about surfing.

Slide on the volcano

Coming to Nicaragua, visitors also have the opportunity to participate in unique volcano skiing activities. Participants will sit on a wooden board, use the rope as a rudder, and use their feet as brakes to slide down the volcanic slopes. You can participate standing or sitting. Sliding downhill in a sitting position will be quite fast and dangerous compared to a standing position.
