Nicaragua, a piece of heaven on earth, rich in tourist attractions that offer exciting experiences when you enter the seas, lakes, mountains and volcanoes that make it up.
Positioned as a destination for adventure tourism, Nicaragua offers us countless options to test our adrenaline.
From this variety we have chosen five unmissable activities for anyone with an adventurous heart. To do this you only need company - if you prefer -, a little savings but a lot of energy.
Surfing
For those who enjoy the taste of the waves, in Nicaragua we have the best in Central America, most of them located in the department of Rivas and León. In the coastal area of our Pacific we can locate the most spectacular surf spots: Puerto Sandino, Popoyo, Colorado, Aserradores and San Diego.
They are perfect for amateur and experienced surfers. Perfection is defined by the formation of its waves, the temperature and the excellent winds that allow the surfer to make excellent parades or tubes.
sanboarding
It consists of sliding over sand hills on top of a table, in Nicaragua we can practice this extreme sport in the Cerro Negro volcano.
The colossus is located in the city of León, it allows adventurers to glide over the black sand on a board that will descend approximately 728 meters in height in less than 10 minutes.
Canopy
If you are not afraid of heights, this option is for you! Canopy is a sport that consists of moving certain distances in the air, only with protective equipment attached to the body and thick ropes that are held from one tree to another.
This extremely extreme activity can be done on the Mombacho volcano in Granada, also in La Brellera in San Rafael del Norte, Jinotega, on El Calvario hill in Matagalpa and in San Juan del Sur.
Kayak
For those who opt for lakes and rivers, the kayak offers a better perspective to know and explore the water that we navigate, you can better appreciate marine life, in addition to the trip that allows you to meditate, delve into yourself and have direct contact with the nature.
In Nicaragua it is a privilege because to practice it we must visit the great Lake Cocibolca, specifically in the islets of Granada, the mighty San Juan River and on the only island in the world that has two volcanoes in a freshwater lake, Ometepe Island.
Cycling
For this adventure we need good physical resistance, strength in your legs and a bicycle, with these three elements you can travel to any corner of our blessed and always beautiful Nicaragua, to help you we recommend two ideal places to practice this sport.
Cerro El Arenal Reserve, Matagalpa, a place with a pleasant climate and a variety of trails, and the municipality of El Crucero in Managua, which also has a pleasant climate, as well as leafy valleys that will take you to incredible views.
