NATIONAL PARKS:
Nicaragua is teaming with wildlife and diversity, so there is little mystery as to why so many tourists
are choosing to visit National Parks in Nicaragua instead of cities and beaches. Nicaragua has some 78 nature reserves,
parks and wildlife sanctuaries filled with amazing diversity. Many of Nicaragua’s National Parks provide nearby lodging
to limit wilderness camping and further damage to the environment.
- Indio-Maìz Biological Reserve - The reserve features the largest and finest expanse of lowland rain forest in Central America.
While it features a number of endangered species like jaguars and giant anteaters,
it is also home to over 400 species of bird, four species of wild cat and over 200 species of reptiles.
- Los Guatuzos Wildlife Refuge - Located on the southern side of Lake Nicaragua as well as on the western shores of the San Juan River,
visit a wetland, a gallery forest and a tropical forest wildlife park.
Watch for birds, monkeys,
sloths, caiman, iguanas and agouti. Most of the traveling and game viewing in this reserve is done by boat.
- Mombacho Cloud Forest Reserve - Situated on the dormant Mombacho Volcano, some of the most beautiful cloud forest flora in the Latin America.
More than 800 species of plant life including bromeliads and orchids. Watch for monkeys.
Excellent trails and on a clear day you can see Granada,
Lake Nicaragua and the Las Isletas Archipelago as you make your way around the volcano.
- Chocoyero Nature Reserve - Next to a tiny cascade, more than 800 chocoyos nesting here. Also find toucans, deer, agouti,
humming birds and howler monkeys.
- La Flor Wildlife Refuge - A coastal sea turtle nesting sight south of San Juan del Sur with over 30,000 olive ridley turtles return to nest between August and December.
- Isla Juan Venado Nature Reserve - An important coastal wetlands reserve roughly 22 km long and half a kilometer wide. It can be explored by motorboat or kayak.
