Discover the best time to visit Nicaragua

Famous for it’s towering volcanoes, colonial cities full of interesting architecture and for being the gateway to Costa Rica, many of our bite-sized trips are situated in the Pacific Lowlands. Temperatures reach their peak in April and May and travelling is most advised in February and March as the chance of rain is low and temperatures are comfortable for sightseeing.

Matagalpa has a beautiful panoramic highway that starts in the city and extends thirty kilometres to the city of Jinotega. Well known for it’s beautiful wildlife, we advise visiting the central region in November and December when the rains have ceased but the forests are in bloom and birds are easy to spot. Coffee harvesting in Matagalpa runs from November to March.

The Corn Islands are a must see on your Nicaragua trip, boasting crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches. The fresh seafood is a big draw for foodies and activities such as snorkelling and scuba diving are offered to travellers. We advise to travel in the dry season (November-May) however if you don’t mind the odd shower you can visit all year round.
