Best Time To Travel To: Nicaragua

Nicaragua is located in Central America and is the largest country there. The country lies between 11 ° and 15 ° north. Although Nicaragua also has some medium-high mountains with up to 2,100 meters, Nicaragua is not as mountainous as the other countries in the region. Basically there are only two prevailing climates in the country: on the one hand, a hot and tropical climate in the plains or the coasts and a cooler climate in the low mountain ranges.

The climate table of Managua could be taken as a typical example for the low elevations in the country and the regions on the Pacific. Otherwise there are few reliable statements for Nicaragua.

Basically, you can also perceive different dry and rain phases in the country. The typical rainy season on the Pacific coast is from May to November in winter. Most of the rain here is usually in September and October. Summer is from November to April, the main season is December to March.

However, it is very rainy all year round on the Atlantic coast. The east coast is one of the wettest regions in all of Central America.

When is the best time to travel to Nicaragua

The best time for Nicaragua must consistently be fixed to the destinations in the country. The dry season is best for the Pacific coast and central parts. That would be from December to January. It can be very uncomfortable across the country when the dry season has reached its peak. This is normally the case from mid-April to mid / late May. Then everything is so dry that a visit to the country is only partially fun. The mountainous parts of Nicaragua can actually be traveled quite well all year round, although you should perhaps avoid the rainy season, especially September and October.
