With a population well beyond a million, Managua is the second biggest metro area in Central America and by far the biggest city and urban center in Nicaragua.
Almost every fourth Nicaraguan is a Managuan and the city still grows rapidly through people moving in, making a person "born and raised" in Managua something of a rare sight. Managua is the undisputed commercial, political, cultural and religious center of the country and many new trends originate from here before they affect the rest of the country.
The Managua focus of nearly all media print and TV is so staggeringly large, that an address without mention of the city is almost always meant to mean Managua by default in news or advertising.
While this decision seemed genius at the time, geology today indicates otherwise, as there is an active fault line right where downtown Managua used to be before the earthquake knocked it down, that is. Managua's economy is based mainly on trade. The city is Nicaragua's chief trading center for coffee, cotton, and other crops.
It is also an important industrial center. Its chief products for trade include beer, coffee, matches, textiles, and shoes. The city has seen the rise and fall of political powers throughout Nicaragua's history and suffered major earthquakes in and Since the earthquake, residential and business areas have been built on the outskirts of Managua, giving rise to urban sprawl on a massive scale. Managua has been dubbed the Venice of Central America because of its escalating use of drainage canals that can be found throughout the city.
So it might be worth to spend some time here and not head out on the first bus or plane you can get. As you can see in the climate table above, Managua does not experience big changes in temperature, but it does have a pronounced rainy and dry season.
The days at the end of the dry season in May are usually uncomfortably hot, often with a lot of humidity as the clouds of the coming rainfall gather. When the rain finally does come, it can be torrential and both the streets most are not paved with asphalt but stones and the makeshift canals throughout the city usually take a heavy toll from this first rainfall.
During the rainy season, the aforementioned drainage canals usually dry can become vicious streams and many a thing, person or animal has fallen in them never to be seen again, so take care.
Nicaragua is one of Latin America's cheaper destinations. Its hotel, food and transportation costs are a fraction of its neighbors. Fast food are similarly priced to those in North America and Europe. High-end restaurants are relatively affordable compared to high income countries. Foreign cuisine, like French and Italian specialties, are served at high-end locations for a fraction of the price found in North American and European cities.
However, things that are unremarkable or daily fare in Europe may be considered expensive specialties in Nicaragua. While Managua also has cheap accommodation, it is one of a few cities in the country with luxury accommodation that may even scrape the four figures in dollars. Most people are mestizos, or natives and Spanish combined.
The British brought black slaves to Nicaragua to work on plantations in the 17th century. Many Nicaraguans are descendants of the slaves. Lake Managua is the only freshwater lake where sharks live.
The sharks can adapt to fresh water, but they are now rarely found in the lake. Many exotic animals are found in Nicaragua, such as toucans, boa constrictors , monkeys, wild boars, jaguars , and sloths. Manatees and sea turtles swim in the Cayos Miskitos Biological Reserve in coral reefs off the remote islands of the Caribbean coast. There are over 70 protected areas in the country, which help preserve the habitats of many endangered species. The Bosawas Biosphere Reserves has a cloud forest that protects 12 kinds of poisonous snakes.
