Country Profile

Nicaragua

Nicaragua is a struggling democracy with a developing economy. On November 5, 2006, Sandinista leader Daniael Ortega won the Presidential elections after sixteen years in the opposition. Many foreign governments and relief organizations provide economic assistance to Nicaragua and numerous individuals (official and non-official) from the United States and the rest of the developed world work on community-based projects throughout the country. Violent crime has not been a historical problem, but the strength of criminal enterprises appears to be growing.
The national language is Spanish, although many residents of the Caribbean coastal areas also speak English and indigenous languages. The climate is hot and humid, with the “summer” dry season running mid-November through mid-May and the “winter” rainy season running from mid-May through mid-November. Terrain ranges from the hilly and volcanic to coastal beaches and tropical jungles. 
Nicaragua lacks an extensive tourist infrastructure. Potential tourists may want to obtain information from INTUR, the governmental agency responsible for developing, regulating and promoting tourism in Nicaragua. INTUR's web site is http://www.intur.gob.ni/ and offers some information in English. Read the Department of State Background Notes on Nicaragua for additional information.
