Nicaragua is a hot-spot for eco-tourists, and it’s not hard to see why: Buzzing with wildlife, landscapes of lakes and volcanoes, lush rainforests and deserted beaches make for a nature lover’s paradise. But what exactly do we mean when we talk about eco-tourism? We believe eco-tourism is about providing positive experiences for visitors as well as the local community. Environmental and cultural awareness, wilderness adventures and conservation efforts are all part of participating in tourism that is beneficial for all. Nicaragua offers a range of activities and destinations that fit into the eco-tourism model.
