Caribbean Coast

+ Add a Photo

V!VA User‘s Description

Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast is distinctly different from the rest of the country. Geographically, the mountainous range in the middle of the country flattens out and is covered with lush vegetation, tropical rainfall from May to December and beautiful Caribbean coastline. Culturally, it is just as different; a British colony from 1687 to 1894, the most common language is English; the population is mostly the African-influenced Miskito indigenous group; the culture is more similar to Caribbean culture than that of the rest of Nicaragua.
