You speaking the truth i drink top water and eat in the streets of Nicaragua walk on the parks and i never encountered with dangerous of any kinds but i always encounter really nice people. If anyone as live on New York let me tell you Nicaragua is like safe heaven. 😂
Thanks for watching JM. Interesting you raise the point about New York! We felt so much more safe travelling around Nicaragua than we did travelling through the USA!
I'm a New Yorker who moved to Nicaragua. It is SO much safer here! And I walk everywhere, alone, with a camera on me. I vlog all over the country and am always just me walking around with a camera. And, knock on wood, I've not even had the camera stolen yet let alone been assaulted!
Going there in March of next year. Can’t wait… My girlfriend is originally from Nicaragua so she hasn’t been there in about 15 years. We are looking for an investment property on the West Coast anywhere from San Juan Del SUR up to the Rancho Santana area. Thank you for the great input in the video!
No saben como agradezco todo lo que han dicho de mi país la pura verdad los extranjeros hablan muy lindo de mi país más que los mismos nicaragüenses se les quiere pareja 💑bella saludos 🤗
¡De nada, Mery! Es muy fácil para la gente concentrarse en los aspectos negativos de un país, pero ningún país es perfecto. Nicaragua fue muy buena con nosotros y se lo debemos a presentar lo mejor de Nicaragua al mundo.
Thank you for all the information you are sharing with us. I am from Nicaragua and you said the truth, we are friendly with foreigners, not all people 😉are poor, we all are hardworking and we like to have with our popular food on the street, "la Tajada con queso". I hope more visitors come to my country to know more about Nicaragua's culture.
Hi Arminda, thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to leave us a comment. We really appreciate it and glad that we have been able to accurately portray life in Nicaragua. We also hope that more people can visit Nicaragua and fall in love with it the same way we did.
As I mentioned I am originally from Nicaragua. My family migrated out of Nicaragua due to the Revolution back in the late 70’s early 80s. Things have changed and I am happy that you address this misconcept that many may have of Nicaragua. I remember vividly someone stole a furniture from our house in the middle of the night. It was a furniture that was left in the front courtyard. Here in the USA I’ve had my bike stolen from my condo which was on the 3rd floor. Vehicles get stolen here in the USA. The bottom line as you stated be smart and don’t put yourself out there.
Hi Rico, nice to hear from you. Yes, things have changed since the revolution and we wanted to set the record straight. Whilst Nicaragua isn't perfect, we felt much safer there than in the US. Wow, bike stolen from the third floor, that is crazy!
I ended up recuperating the mountain bike. One of the landscape workers while trimming the palm trees decided to take it . Unfortunately for him the condo’s have cameras.
Muchas gracias por todo, ustedes han colaborado con Nicaragua en momentos difíciles y fue honor tenerlos como huéspedes, su apoyo es fantástico y les queremos mucho desde aquí, por su interés en el desarrollo de nuestro país. Considero que ustedes son nicaragüenses que aman Nicaragua. Bendiciones!!
Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras, leerlas nos ha alegrado el día. Realmente amamos a Nicaragua y su gente y deseamos que el país alcance su gran potencial.
What an experience you two have had to live in Nicaragua. Some day, I hope to visit there since my grandmother was born and raised there in El Viejo which is on the Pacific coast. She met my grandfather in the late 1920s when he was a Marine fighting against Sandino and his rebel forces. He served as a translator under the top US brass. It’ll many years, if ever, I will be able to go there and learn about my grandmother. Until then, I will watch your videos.
What interesting stories your Grandmother must have had! You must visit one day, Nicaragua is a wonderful country with beautiful, hard working people. Thanks for sharing your personal story with us Linda.
El Viejo is a great town. I live in Leon, one city away. I've got a good friend from El Viejo and it's such a cute little city. It's a suburb of Chinandega which is great.
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog , thanks. My grandmother’s maiden name was Plazaola. I believe all of the Plazaolas can be traced back to Spain and settled in El Viejo.
@@BucketListTravellers Que bien, están en Cataluña, es genial, yo vivo en la parte de Andalucía, me alegro que estéis por aquí, saludos enorme, por favor haced muchso videos, son lugares muy bonitos, que disfrutéis de la estancia,🥇🥇💖💖💖💖💖💖 Os quiero, sois geniales.
I just discovered you guys and subscribed. I'm a US man thinking of retiring in Central or South America so these are very interesting videos to me. I love the irony of stereotypes. When i hear Aussies say they go round barefoot, i think how we see Australia as the place where every creature is deadly. I wouldn't feel comfortable going outside the Sydney airport without kevlar head to toe.
🤣🤣🤣. Welcome to our channel Bill! We were talking about this 'Australia has dangerous creatures stereotype' the other day and it couldn't be further from reality. Yes, there are poisonous snakes and spiders in the bush, but you will rarely come across them when hiking or indoors, especially in major cities like Sydney. What freaked us out about the US and Canada is that you need bear spray whenever you go hiking!
Oh, brother! How I loved this vid 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Besides being objective and informative, it also challenges our own deep-set biases and prejudices... Nobody better than you guys to debunk myths based on your real life experiences. The main point was well-taken, poverty does not equate to being a criminal... Unfortunately, I've seen travellers dispensing a thousand and one pieces of advise with the underlying narrative of "this is a third-world country" and "THEY will do anything to survive". All the info presented here is invaluable and I applaud you for just bringing it straight up. Sadly, some other countries in LatAm (as well as developed ones) have serious issues with kidnappings, murd3r, c4rt3ls, guns, hate crimes, etc. but these are relative non-issues in Nicaragua. We have more of a chance here in the US of being sh0t at school, church, movies, concerts, etc. Happy Holidays to you both! 🎅🎄🎁
We are so relieved to hear that our 'poverty not criminal' point came across ok. We were worried that it may have been misinterpreted, so a big thank you for the feedback!! Whilst we know that not everything is all roses in Nicaragua, we agree that everything you mentioned is a non issue there, which makes it so special. The only 'gun' sounds in Nicaragua are all the fireworks! Re your US point and everything else, it is like you are in our heads!! Happy holidays to you too!!
Thank you for this extensive guide for Nicaragua! Since watching your channel we have wanted to visit. We agree crimes of opportunity are everywhere. When our daughter was in Spain she withdrew $ from a bank ATM it had a scanner on it, within minutes the transaction electronically went to Canada and her bank account was emptied. We just never know. Safe travels and thank you so much for this important video. ~Cara 😊
You are most welcome Cara and glad to hear that you would like to visit Nicaragua, you won't be disappointed! Oh gee, we are currently in Spain right now, so that is handy to know. That would be devastating for anyone travelling, your poor daughter!
We love Nicaragua so much... killed three scorpions... The Nicas are the sweetest people... As tourists you are forbidden to be involved with politics as it violates your visa. You can not bring a drone, in most cases, into Nicaragua and you could lose it upon entry. It is a great country to visit.
Thanks for watching! Good advice too re politics. We didn't realise that you can't bring in a drone, we know a number of people in NIcaragua who have used drones, they must have been lucky!
The drones has something to do with the press/media I believe. I’ve heard it is hit or miss depending on the immigration supervisor you deal with. I wouldn’t test the Nicaraguan government on being involved in politics on a tourist visa, they imprisoned all the apposition candidates in the last presidential election. One does not have the same rights as a citizen and shouldn’t expect to having the same as one’s home country. As a guest or traveler it’s one responsibility to research the laws before entering. Like Brazil has a zero tolerance drinking and driving law. Meaning no alcohol at all….
We had no issues for 99% of our time in Nicaragua and were never bitten in bed. They are most active during the wet season (May-November) and that is when you need to be careful if you accommodation doesn't have sealed exits. We were in a beach villa once and I had killed 3 inside the villa in 4 days! Something to be mindful of, but not a big risk!
Just know about the food or water. Just because its safe for locals doesnt mean its safe for you. People out there have adapted to the microbes over there. Ill stick to closed containers.
Hi there, it is a safe idea to do what you mentioned. Funnily enough, when we arrived in Nicaragua, we asked about filtered water at our hotel. Having bottled water availabl in hotels is pretty standard elsewhere in Central America, but here were told to drink the tap water as it was potable. We did just that and never had any issues in the 18 months that we lived there.
Super informative video guys. We've been wanting to visit Nicaragua and this just confirms if even further! With you on dogs being scary. And that's crazy the scorpions are that bad!! We had a couple in the Caribbean once, but only a couple!
thank you for this video. I am visiting in less than 2 weeks and it was important for me to see how well Nicaragua is doing since I haven't been since 2017. During that time I traveled on my own and experienced a safe and amazing time but I know years have change and with the pandemic I wasn't sure if safety has gone up or down due to many factors.
You're welcome! Hopefully not too much has changed for you. Our guess is that it will seem quieter, especially around party spots like San Juan Del Sur. We would be interested to know what you experienced. Have a great trip!
Thanks for making this great video! I’m planning to spend some time there and I can show this video to some well-intentioned but uninformed relatives before I go to put them at ease. 🙋🏻♂️
Hey Jesse, so glad we could help! We know what you mean, Jon's mum always questions whether there gang issues in Nicaragua and whilst she is more or less right about some other Central American countries, it couldn't be further from the truth in Nicaragua.
The locals eat street food constantly. If it wasn't safe, everyone would be sick all the time. It's different than places like the US or Europe where street food is a rare "treat" and might be bad and people might not notice. In NIcaragua the street food is standard cuisine. Nicaraguans eat on the street almost every day. So it has to be safe. You mention San Juan, it is definitely safe to drink the water there.
That's not really how it works. Locals build up resistance to bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens, usually through post-exposure immunity. It's not bullet proof, but this explains why many (not all) people of Latin America and elsewhere aren't suffering the effects of Traveler's Diarrhea.
Good informational video. I’m coming back to Nicaragua to visit my fiancé in 3 days. I’m super excited! However, as you mentioned the heat is the only thing that really bothered me the last time I was there.
Hi Chelsey, we have been keeping in contact with friends and facebook groups and nothing has changed materially since we left Nicaragua last year. So yes, it is still very safe to visit as a foreigner, you will have a great time!
We want to move to Nicaragua, we are looking at San Juan del Sur, we would like a decent condo overlooking the beach very close or on the beach. For two of us how much would we expect to spend per month. I should say that we are looking to buy a condo now rent. So I don't know what the price would be to buy a condo. But then the monthly living expenses would be what? We like to go out to restaurants and bars and try to stay fairly busy so what would a monthly budget look like
Hi Eric, it really depends on your lifestyle. We lived very comfortably on around US$1500 a month in Granada. So if you exclude rent (say US$1000 for a very nice condo) then $1000 a month for the rest should cover you. Note though that electricity is VERY expensive in Nicaragua if you use air conditioning all the time. We will do a video on this to explain in more detail.
Hi Scott, thanks for watching. Thankfully we didn't experience this first hand, however we have observed posts in the Granada expats facebook group about at least one incident in the last year or so. We were there early one evening in 2020 and the locals were telling us that it was dangerous and to be very careful. We also know a local whose friend's camera was stolen. So whilst it might be rare, it can happen from time to time.
In Oaxaca, Mexico last August, I witnessed a women who was trying to steal a baby caragige from Wlamart with a baby strappept to herself. Four police escorted her away. One of the police had a machine gun strapped to his side while the gang of police escorted the suspect out of Walmart, unhangcuffed with the baby still on herself. I thought: How ironic is this! asked someone: What will come of this? He responded: She would be taken to the police station and released with her baby as soon as the family came and paid the fine. In America, the police would have taken the baby away, perphas never to be seen again.
I am wanting to move move to Nicaragua with my girlfriend who is from the Dominican Republic. Can you recommend some safe inexpensive towns to stay in that are not really really big and not really really really really small
Depends whether you want to be involved with any expat communities or not. Granada, whilst a 'large' Nicaragua city, is still pretty small with a large expat community and has everything you need and only an hour away from Managua. If you want something with less expats, still an hour from Managua and a little cooler than Granada we recommend looking at Jinotepe. We recommending staying for 3 months in a couple of different places to get a feel for life before making the big move. All the best with it.
Hi, it is a little unsettling seeing police with these massive rifles. However if you travel outside the USA, it is more than likely that you will be in countries where the police are the only ones licensed to carry arms. We come from Australia and access to guns for the general population is heavily restricted. Thanks for watching.
@@BucketListTravellers I'm well aware of how it is in most countries and it's sad people don't stand up for equal rights under the law, that being said there's many countries where police are NOT allowed to carry firearms when the general populace can't and I think that's a fare trade. Sorry to hear you come from Australia where it's so lop sided though, your country is one of the ones I'm talking about where people don't stand up for equal rights.
@@lynnrussell1641 That would happen regardless if guns were legal or not, you think the criminally insane care about laws? lol, please don't be naive, the US has a serious cultural problem, not a gun problem. never blame the tool, blame the person using the tool.
Hi @dapeux, thanks for watching. There are dark sides to every country, some more than others. We aim to showcase the best of each country for travellers interested in visiting. Nicaragua is a beautiful country with kind, resilient and hard working people.
@@BucketListTravellers You guys are doing a great thing and for your audience you have a great channel. It’s just that the reality is different for Nicaraguans and other Latinos because the negative elements in Nicaraguan society feel more comfortable preying upon their own people more than people who are not or their race. The phone thing is true and so is the face that you can’t go out at night but getting mugged is very common in Nicaragua but moreso for the Nicaraguans and not the foreign visitors.
If you have a property in Nicaragua. Is there a chance the government can take it away? Or is it protected by US laws or how does that work? Because in the 80s the government took peoples property
US laws don't have much sway in Nicaragua, so you would be on your own if this was to occur. It's hard to say whether this would actually occur as this would severely undermine confidence of sorely needed foreign investment in the country. An expat we spoke to about the risk thought this wouldn't happen for this reason.
one factor is , tough jails. young men fear the police. there is no bail. agree about attitude.. very few people have criminal intent. I have never had a problem.
The US has scorpions too. Basically everywhere in the New World does (not Canada.) There are more scorpions in Nicaragua, but more and more dangerous ones in population centers in the US (the entire US south has them.)
You guys said something that really caught my attention... why most of the native english speakers never wear shoes inside their homes? Is it a cultural thing? I've been wondering about that since i was very young, that's unusual for us...
Good question Jango! For us it is about not bringing in dirt on shoes into the house. In colder climates, you would have dirt and snow on your shoes, so you'd leave them at the door. It is also a custom in asian culture too. It doesn't quite work in Nicaragua though, especially with open spaces inside colonial style homes! I always had the dirtest feet in Granada from walking around everywhere!
Hi Harouna, Yes it is easy to get a visa on arrival. It will be a 3 month visa and you can also use the same visa to enter El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala as well. Enjoy your trip!
Oh Gee, I think Nicaragua has lost me with the scorpions! We saw 2 or 3 of them in our apartment in Acapulco in Mexico - and that was enough for a lifetime - lol!
Ha Ha Ha.."You have to get used to police carrying arms" LOL. By the way , You cant say one Latin Country is safe versus another. You have to use the same cautions in all of them.
Why have a car? Don't have a car. Don't rent a car. Use buses and taxis. When abroad keep it simple for the best experience and least hassle and danger. Avoid liability by letting others drive You. Don't worry about scorpions they just sting a few minutes. Pretty bad though. Coral snakes , Fer de lances , and other vipers are the reason to check floors , shoes etc , unlikely as it is.
We agree with you about cars. Ah yes, we didn't mention the snakes! We came across a dead coral snake on the road, but wouldn't want to come across one or a fer de lance in our home! Would you find many snakes in the cities though?
Nicaragua is safely for foreign people the only problems are between Nicaraguans people politics otherwise tourists are very welcome and get around happy
Muy contento nicaragua sin palabra me encanta muy bien cuidado con la seguridad sean bienvenidos todos los extranjeros vamos turistas a nicaragua hay muchos lugares muy bonitos de conoser
It would be recommended anywhere. Nowhere is completely COVID free, so having the vaccine is recommended. And at every stage of the process of travel you both are at a higher exposure risk and create one for others. So having the vaccine is highly recommended. That said, no Nicaragua itself does not require it. But it is the most vaccination country in the region.
Hi David, It's interesting that you say that. We actually feel safer when citizens don't have guns so it's not an arms race. You can still defend yourself without a gun and the situation doesn't escalate as quickly. When we had a home invasion in Nicaragua we just yelled and the invader ran away. We come from Australia where hardly anyone has guns and it is a very safe place.
@@BucketListTravellers that's funny here in the U.S. if you have a home invader you better hope you have a gun yelling will just piss them off. Here in the US the government would love to be able to take guns out of the hand of law abiding Americans. how ever if they did that the criminals will still have guns. It's harder for the government to control people if everyone owns a gun. It's why the Japanese did not invade the US during WW2 . it's because they knew American citizens' owned guns
Omg, your scorpion footage is chilling! I don't think we're scorpion ready yet. I think that's the only thing that would scare me. Probably the dogs too! I got my first dog bite in Thailand. Not pleasant at all!
🤣🤣🤣 They are pretty insidious little critters! They are more common in the wet season and thats The dogs are something to be mindful of in Central America too. Jay was really shaken up by her bite and that was from the hostel that we were staying at too.
January and February are the best times of year to visit the whole country as you are into the dry season. You could go anywhere really. In relative terms, it is probably best to explore the Carribean side (Corn Islands) as there is no threat of tropical storms / hurricanes at this time of year.
No problems at all, we are happy to help! May is generally the most oppressively hot time of year with humidity build up just before the rainy season begins. If you don't like the steamy heat, then it isn't the best. Other than that, it is not a generally a touristy time of year, so that is a positive!
I've never heard anyone suggest that Nicaragua has many guns. Who is saying this? That's crazy. So few guns. It's all just so safe. Nicaragua recently passed Canada as the safest country (for violence) in the entire western hemisphere!
Thanks for being so engaged about this video Scott!😁 We have had a number of comments in other videos of ours about guns, which we scratch our heads at! When we were in Canada a few months before Nicaragua we walked through a sketchey area in Vancouver and felt a LOT less safe there than we ever did in Nicaragua.
I enjoyed this video a lot. I'm not traveling in the near future, but this was very interesting. You seem like kind, intelligent people. Where we live, there are centipedes and not as many scorpions. They both hate peppermint oil. I put some near our bed, at night, and we haven't seen a centipede since. Scorpions would be the same. Thanks.
Hi Peter, thanks for watching and we are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Nicaragua gets a bad rap and much of the reputation is unfair and partly due to the reputation of other countries in Central America. Thanks for the tip about peppermint oil!
Muy contento nicaragua sin palabra me encanta muy bien cuidado con la seguridad sean bienvenidos todos los extranjeros vamos turistas a nicaragua hay muchos lugares muy bonitos de conoser
Thanks for watching and letting us know you enjoyed the video Kathy. Wow 10 times, impressive! Esteli was one of our favourite areas in Nicaragua, your sons have chosen well!
Un saludo y muy agradecido por su estadía,hay muchos fake news sobre ese país y si una aclaración de un millonario que mencionaron(pellas) el no ayuda más que dar empleos y no ah donado ningún hospital, hizo uno pero es privado y para millonarios, la salud en Nicaragua es social y hay privada.
This is really true safe all bunch of us Canada nada USA friends we always go there every year for fun as surfing, fishing, play sports and party what we really love the warmth positive energy incluiding people
Hi guys, thanks so much for this video, it really help ! We wants to move to Nica for few months, so do you think since the video was made, is it still safe ?? :)
Hi Angella, thanks for watching. Yes, nothing much has changed since we left last year. Staying for a couple of months is a great idea to get a feel for the country. As we said in the video, there is petty theft / crimes of opportunity in certain areas, so be discrete with your mobile phone. Other than that, the only thing you need to look out for are the scorpions!😜 Have a great time!
All very true points except for the food and water part. You did say the touristy areas but it really is exclusive to the tourist areas or main cities. You do have to watch where you eat and drink. I travel to Nicaragua a lot and with my family, we don't get sick every time but we have gotten food poisoning before.
Thanks for watching Mike. We must have developed 'Nica' stomaches while we were there!😂 Nothing is worse than getting food poisoning on holidays though, so it pays to be careful.
Hi Hump, glad to hear you enjoyed the video. If you enjoyed Costa Rica and Panama, then I'm sure you'll enjoy Nicaragua too! Nicaragua doesn't have as many bells and whistles as Costa Rica, but that is what makes it special. We hope you have a fun trip next year!
So happy I found your videos. Thank you so much for visiting my beautiful country and for liking it so much (except for the scorpions 😉) I can't wait to watch your other RU-vid videos. You guys are great. Best wishes on your travels. 🥂
Danke fürs Zuschauen und Liken! Wir hoffen, es war nur eine Spritztour um den Block! Ich möchte keinen Ärger mit der nicaraguanischen Polizei bekommen!
Hi Ron, thanks for watching and glad to hear you liked it. They are definitely scorpions there, thankfully not life threatening but not something you don't want to wake up to!
Hi, over the past few days I’ve watched tons of your videos, mostly about Nicaragua. Our family is thinking about moving there in a few years so your videos are super helpful and fun!We’re from Canada so I’m not used to scorpions either, although I have lived in Texas and Arizona, not personally seeing a scorpion though. My question is, do you think bugs or spiders, and even snakes are mostly in towns more than the cities and is there certain types of housing less likely to have those creeping things? Haha! At first I was thinking a beach shack type roof would be fun, but now I’m rethinking that thought:) 😂 Texas was very hard to live in with all the flying cockroaches and crickets so I’m wondering how prepared I have to be to encounter bugs, etc. on a daily basis?
Hi Darla, thanks so much for watching! Unfortunately bugs will be a fact of life in Nicaragua. The most annoying are mosquitos and you will get used to just being itchy all the time. We found that having fans on at night helped with keeping mosquitos at bay. There is regular fumigating done in people's homes by the government to reduce the risk of dengue fever and we had our place in Granada done a couple of times while we were there, which helped. We never came across snakes when we were in Nicaragua and you won't really find them in the towns or cities. Scorpions were pretty universal, but were only usually seen at night and in the rainy season. If you have a well sealed home, scorpions shouldn't be an issue. We never had any scorpions in our bedroom in the year we were in Granada, only in the yard.
If this helps. I am a pest control guy in FL and was in CA. Mosquitoes are bad in Nic. Most towns out there have much fewer bugs than in LA, and Miami. I saw one scorpion while traveling for two months in Nic. Lived in LA for a couple of decades. Scorpions are more prevalent there. Respectfully, I did not have issues with bugs there @@BucketListTravellers
Hi Will, Good point! We know quite a few solo female travellers that have travelled or lived in Nicaragua and have found the country very safe. I have gone out on my own in Nicaragua during the day and late at night without any issues. I've also filmed some of our videos on my own and that has been fine. I did find that when I first came to the country I would get cat called a bit when Jon wasn't right next to me, but if you just ignore it they generally leave you alone. On the whole though most people in Nicaragua are friendly and kind, which made us feel very safe. As with anywhere, it's wise to keep your wits about you and take your normal safety precautions.
Muy contento nicaragua sin palabra me encanta muy bien cuidado con la seguridad sean bienvenidos todos los extranjeros vamos turistas a nicaragua hay muchos lugares muy bonitos de conoser
Hola El Tuani! We never got to experience Chinandega when we were there, however it is on our list for next time to visit! Yes, it is VERY hot there! We found Leon very hot and we know that Chinandega is even warmer. Thanks for watching!
Nicaragua is the safest country in Centralamerica and the second in Latinoamerica. No drug cartels, no gangs, no organized crime...Confidential is the worst source of accurate information.. is like trusting... for Covid related issues check official authorities or OMS.
Glad you agree with our view for safety in Nicaragua. A number of people have mentioned confidential now as an unreliable news source. We'll keep that in mind for future.
Haha, yeah we can see how that may sound contradictory. However you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere in the world with zero crime. That doesn't mean it's not generally safe. We've had our car broken into multiple times in Australia and a cafe we go to was the scene of an act of terrorism that made international headlines, but we'd call Australia safe. When we were in the US there was a shooting not far from our Airbnb and when we mentioned it to our host she thought we were talking about a completely different recent shooting, but that was considered a safe neighbourhood. The home invasion that was experienced in Nicaragua definitely wasn't something we'd like to experience again, but the intruder left as soon as they heard us and nothing was stolen, so we still think the country on the whole is reasonably safe.
Gracias por su apreciación de mi patria, esperamos poder verles nuevamente Residiendo en Nicaragua porque aunque son Australianos los consideramos Nicaragüenses por convicción y amplia experiencia en sus vivencias como turistas y nacionales. Dios les bendiga y guíe en todo.
Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras Luis, nos sentimos muy honrados por ellas. Nicaragua siempre tendrá un lugar especial en nuestros corazones después de lo mucho que nos cuidaron allí durante la pandemia. Esperamos volver algún día.
