Hey guys I know there is offshore winds basically all the time around popoyo, colorados, gigante, San juan.

Does anyone know roughly how far north this magical phenomenon continues for I wanna spend a lot of my trip around the north of the country but don’t wanna lose out on wave time either thanks all

I'm working on a list of every country's most iconic cult film (list here: https://boxd.it/n5ZFs) and wondered if anyone could help me figure out Nicaragua's entry. I'm looking for a film that might not be well-known outside the country's borders. Perhaps it's a film everyone knows, and is hugely popular only to Nicaraguan audiences, even if it wasn't popular with critics. Or maybe it's a film that wasn't well-received by audiences or critics, but has gained a cult following in the years since its release. Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Looking for hotel recommendations hopefully with a pool!

Hi! I’ll be living in Granada for the next two months and am looking for places were I can relax and or have some nice baked goods on my days off from work. Do any of you know any places with good vibes and good food were I can visit during my time there? I have already tried Kathy’s and The Garden Cafe so maybe some options other than that. Thank you so much in advance!

Soy Nica viviendo en los Estados Unidos. Tengo muchos años de experiencia produciendo música electrónica, tocando en vivo, y como DJ (no soy chavalito - tengo 50 años ;) ).

Estoy interesado en hacer contacto con músicos, vocalistas, raperos o productores Nicas para colaborar en un proyecto musical. El proyecto en el que estoy trabajando tiene influencias del Reggae y la Cumbia, pero es todo electrónico.

Me interesa Cumbia, Dancehall, Dub, Champeta, y musica Caribeña, pero principalmente tengo experiencia con Techno y House, o otros estilos electrónicos. Me interesa bastante la música de la Costa Atlántica y la marimba Nica. No estoy tan interesado en EDM, Dubstep, Hip Hop o Réggaeton más mainstream - pero si te gustan, y quieres experimentar con diferentes sonidos, también estoy dispuesto.

Voy a estar en Managua a mediados de Julio. Tírame un DM si te interesa hacer contacto, y por favor pásalo a quien conozcas que le puede interesar.

I just decided yesterday to fly into nicaragua on the 17th for a week... I like to fly by the seat of my pants and live in the moment..

Where are some really cool places to stay that aren't necessarily expensive? I booked something in managua but have quickly learned that it's better to leave managua and see the country.

Not sure where I'm heading specifically yet, so open to suggestions.

I definitely plan on going towards Leon and Granada at least.

Thank you!

Edit: I appreciate all your responses and you all seem very wonderful and nice and makes me even more excited to come check out your country :) thank you!

Any big issues to know about?

Soy estudiante de universidad, tengo 20 años, y este mes de julio voy a tener vacaciones durante todo el mes. Alguna idea de donde podria ir a conseguir trabajo durante solo 1 mes?

I am considering exporting coffee from Nicaragua and would like to visit with producers that can handle a lot of volume. I asked an associate to visit the producers on my behalf but he said he is not allowed as he doesn't have the required permit. Does anyone know what permit is needed and how to find more information about this permit?

Hi there, driving currently in Nicaragua in the north with small kids who are hating my attempts to walk towns and hike mountains... planning on going from Matagalpa to San Juan del Sur, and would like to break up the drive over a few days with a night at a nice AirConditioned hotel along the way... Any recommendations?

We're driving economy, no 4x4, so much of our wishes with the north trip have been washed away by the weather forecast. :)

I'm planning later weekend trips to some of the more common destinations recommended (granada, ometepe, masaya) so not sure if I should visit granada twice for example, or spend a night near masaya now just to go to the volcano at night and get back to a hotel nearby.)

starting to go crazy with options, so any advice welcome!

Is there an equivalent of a “little Havana” for the Nicaraguan community in Miami? Or if I wanted to eat a traditional Nicaraguan meal or treat where would I go? Thank you!

Soy de Nicaragua, pero actualmente vivo con mi esposo en Asia mi esposo no es un nicaragüense Nuestro hijo nació hace unos meses. Ahora quiero sacarle la ciudadanía nicaragüense Pero aquí no hay consulado ni embajada de Nicaragua. Por favor informacion, ahora que debo hacer y cuales son los tramites Para que conste, no puedo volver a Nicaragua, pero mi padre y mi hermano viven allí.

From what I can gather the initial revolution temporarily succeeded in the 80s but after prolonged US intervention and the Sandinistas losing the goodwill of the people, they were forced to step down.

After that the Sandinistas win in the 2007 election and have been in control of the country since. The new Sandinistas from what I know are a lot less revolutionary though this time around and seem to have purged most left wing elements of the party.

So my question is, how are things now in Nicaragua and is there any hope for things to turn around and the Sandinistas to become revolutionary again?

I’m leaving Managua early tomorrow morning, I need to change Cordobas to US dollars. Should I exchange in the airport in Managua or wait to get to the US? What’s the better rate? I fly into San Francisco.

UPDATE: I’ve got an amazing driver! She showed up at my hotel at 9:15pm, drove me to AMPM, and she deposited my cordobas into her account, went to another store and withdrew but ATM ran out of dollars, so she drove to another ATM and withdrew the rest, paid under $10 in bank fees, then another 600 cordobas for driving us around for an hour!! More than happy with her service. If you’re ever in Managua, and need a ride, DM me for her number

We are considering visiting Nicaragua this summer with our three young children. We’ve been told “just land during the day” and you’ll be safe. Our final destination would be 2.5 hours from Managua.

Most flights were considering land around 4 or 5pm. Would it be dangerous to leave the airport in Managua after landing at those times or is it people being overly cautious with their commentary?

It will be our first visit there. Thanks!

Edit: We decided to book earlier flights, will arrive around Noon now. I appreciate all the feedback!
