Nicaragua
The second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Nicaragua is a developing nation that faces many economic and political challenges. Crime, while less severe than neighboring countries to the north, continues to affect residents and visitors alike. The national language is Spanish, although many residents of the Caribbean coastal areas also speak English and indigenous languages. The climate is hot and humid, with the hot dry season running mid-November through mid-May and the less hot rainy season running from mid-May through mid-November. Terrain ranges from the hilly and volcanic to coastal beaches and topical jungles. Geological faults, along which active volcanoes are situated, run through the country. tremors are common, and a major earthquake destroyed most of downtown Managua in 1972.
