		<description><![CDATA[La Isla de Ometepe or Ometepe Island is formed from two joined volcanoes that rise out of the center of Lake Nicaragua (Lake Cocibolca).  One of these volcanoes, Conception Volcano, is active and the other volcano Maderas lies dormant.
Isla Ometepe has been inhabited since pre-Columbian times by the Nahuatl people and was considered a sacred place, steeped in legend and mystery.  Today, its rich volcanic sands and virgin forest present ideal organic conditions for agriculture where you will find avocados, mangoes, banana and coffee plantations. About 35,000 people ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The environmental impact of tourism, a rapidly growing industry for Nicaragua and the other nations of Central America is becoming increasingly obvious, but can seem somewhat remote to the individual tourist on vacation. However, traveling by airplane to a destination has been identified as having an effect on global warming.  The construction of resorts also contributes by destroying the habitats of the indigenous people and the natural environment.  
By making a few changes, tourists collectively can leave less of a negative effect on the environment as they vacation ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article on Nicaragua tourism article comes from the 24-7 Press Release.com website and I thought it would be of interest to those wishing to travel to Nicaragua.
&#8220;As part of Nicaragua&#8216;s strategy to promote the country as a tourist destination in the exterior, the Nicaraguan Tourism Board (INTUR, for its acronym in Spanish) and the private sector participated in EXPOTUR, an international tourism fair, held since 1984 in the city of San Jose, Costa Rica.
This year, more than 250 Central American service providers participated in the fair offering their products ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last posting on companies offering Nicaragua tours you could consider for your next Nicaragua vacation, I wrote about a tour called The Nicaragua Volcanoes and Islands tour by GAP Adventure Tours Company.  That tour is a great introduction to Nicaragua, but you might be looking for something a little more relaxing.
The Nicaragua Shipwrecked tour by GAP is for independent travellers who just want to unwind, do some fishing, snorkelling and just plain chilling out.  This Nicaragua tour is for 7 nights, 8 days on the Corn Islands.  You’ll ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been searching around for tours to Nicaragua so if you are interested in Nicaragua tours as your first introduction to Nicaragua, it’s a great way to go for the Nicaragua “newbie”.  I only managed to find three Nicaragua tours three from GAP Adventures, the Great Adventure People in the travel agencies.  It would seem that although Nicaragua is ready for tourism, travel companies have not yet jumped on board full force as they have with other destinations.  Even in talking with many people, their questions are, “Is Nicaragua safe?” ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A city you won’t want to miss on your Nicaragua vacation is León.  It is a department (State) in north western Nicaragua.  León itself is the second largest city after the capital of Managua.  The original city of León was discovered by Francisco Hernandes de Cordoba, but after the eruption of the Momotombo Volcano and the flooding from Lake Managua which followed, it was decided to move the city further east next to the town of Subtiava.  Over its history, it has competed with the city of Granada to be ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The beautiful city of Granada in Nicaragua is one of the oldest cities in the Americas and is well known for its lovingly restored Colonial architecture. The city was settled in 1524 by the Spanish and still has many of the original buildings reflecting its rich Spanish history.  When you are visiting Nicaragua, you must not miss the chance to visit this city.  Granada is located on Lake Nicaragua and only 70 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean.  Endearingly, it is known as “Gran Sultana del Gran Lago” ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something you must not miss seeing on your tour of Nicaragua is its lake, Lake Nicaragua (Cocibolca), one of the largest fresh water lakes in the world, besides the Great Lakes in North America.  When I first saw the Lake, I thought it was the ocean because the water was rough and there were white caps on the waves.  It seems also that the early explorers thought it was the sea as well.  So I am not alone is my mistake.
In the center of Lake Nicaragua, one sees two volcanoes, ...]]></description>

Before I begin telling you about tourism in Nicaragua, I will be presenting you with some facts about this country, both historical, geographical, and maybe a little political (but not much).  It&#8217;s good to know something about a country and people you intend to visit. Instead of visiting a country and playing the part of the naïve tourist, you can be more open to a new culture and new things and will return from your holiday more enriched by the experience.
Since 1971, this has been the flag of Nicaragua. ...]]></description>
