colonial towns, volcanoes and Pacific beaches

Stretching from the Gulf of Fonseca to the southern border with Costa Rica, the pacific lowlands are arguably Nicaragua’s most beautiful region and encompass golden coastline, wonderful volcanoes and the colonial city of Léon.

The south-west of the country is dominated by Lake Nicaragua, around which the majority of the population live.
