Back in 2002, the publication of our Moon Handbook Nicaragua was such big news. It was not the first guidebook to Nicaragua, but at 400 pages, it really stood out on the shelves - a big improvement for a country still remembered for war, not tourism. Now on its second edition, Moon Handbook Nicaragua is more popular than ever.
Journalist Gustavo Ortega Campos interviewed us both for La Prensa back on 24 April, 2002. The La Prensa website doesn't go back that far, but you can download the article here. |

Those Sunday Travel Sections just can't get enough Lakes and Volcanoes. On the heels of last week's New York Times spread, we get "Fit for Man and Beast: Surfers and Turtles Ride the Waves on Nicaragua's Coast,"by Jonathan Finer, in tomorrow's Washington Post (Sunday, December 24, 2006). The story has been done many, many times before by travel writers who feel like they're on to something. I'm as guilty as the rest, several times over and I ain't knockin' it. There's a reason the word is out — Nicaragua really is that intriguing to visit.You'll know when you go. In this article, Finer reports from San Juan del Sur (where else?) on sea turtles, surfing, tourism development, real estate, and Daniel Ortega, whose recent Presidential win provides an easy reference to the country's "troubled past" (a requisite ingredient in any short article about Nicaragua). |

This weekend, millions of New York Times Travel section readers will be treated to a full feature spread that whisks them around Nicaragua. The article, by Gregory Dicum, offers a breezy, lyrical tour of Nicaragua's main Pacific-side features, and does a great job of capturing the various moods of each destination. Dicum reports, "As recently as five years ago, almost no facilities existed for foreign visitors, yet now development is brisk. Social development projects like the tourism co-ops and a scholarship and job training program associated with Pelican Eyes, as well as many others, tie the growing sector to society more broadly, as rarely happens elsewhere in Central America. As a visitor, there is the refreshing feeling that how it all turns out is, in part, up to you." |

Time Magazine (November 2006) published Rude Awakening for Americans in Nicaragua with regard to the recent political victory of Daniel Ortega. The article accurately captures the anxiety and anticipation of folks who have already invested in Nicaragua and are waiting to see what the new administration means for them. |
