The prestigious magazine Vogue, in its edition for Mexico and Latin America, dedicated an extensive publication to refer to Nicaragua as the “new great destination” of Central America .
Highlighting the paradisiacal beaches, the lake of Nicaragua, the lagoon of Apoyo and the colonial cities (such as Granada or León), in addition to the volcanoes (such as Ometepe), the American media indicated that it is time to say goodbye to Costa Rica to notice its northern neighbor.
Vogue points out benefits such as places to surf, the warm spirit of Nicaraguans and the presence of fewer visitors in some places. Which, according to editor Naomi Smart, allows you to fully enjoy the destination.
It is not surprising that there are a growing number of guest houses centered on surfing along the Pacific coast of Nicaragua. After all, the waves on the Emerald Coast are some of the best in the world, similar to those of neighboring Costa Rica, but without the crowds. Surrounded by lush gardens, the 12-suite hotel in front of Malibu Beach, Poyoyo, has to be the most refined surf offer in the country at this time, with spa treatments, meditation classes and yoga,”
said Vogue, in the publication made on November 11th.
Despite this, the socio-political crisis that has hit Nicaragua since the beginning of 2018 made a dent in the tourism sector.
The extinct El Nuevo Diario, which halted its publications in September, indicated last February that due to the crisis that country lost 62 thousand jobs in the tourism sector and more than 440 million dollars in revenue due to the cancellation of some 800 thousand trips.
