About Nicaragua:

  • Nicaragua is the largest of the Central American republics.
  • It is bounded by Honduras to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, Costa Rica to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
  • Biodiversity: Lake Managua is the only freshwater lake where sharks live, which enter the lake by the Rio San Juan River from the Atlantic Ocean.
    • Many exotic animals like toucans, boa constrictors, monkeys, wild boars, jaguars, sloths, Manatees and sea turtles can be found.
  • Immigrants issue: Nicaragua and El Salvador are chosen as points of entry for immigrants trying to reach the US border due to the geographical challenges posed by the Darién Gap.
    • The Darien gap is a dense and perilous rainforest at the border between Colombia and Panama.
