Nicaragua's intellectual and political capital — university town, Sandinista revolution heart, and home to the largest cathedral in Central America (a UNESCO basilica). Pace is faster than Granada (40km south), prices are lower, and the volcano-boarding circuit at Cerro Negro is 30 minutes out. The Pacific surf at Las Peñitas is also 30 minutes out by chicken bus. Wi-Fi is solid in central guesthouses; coworking remains thin. Nicaragua's CA-4 agreement (with Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras) means a 90-day stay covers four countries. Standard Western passports get 90-day visa-free entry, extendable in-country.
