Nicaragua
Volcanoes rise and lakes shimmer, November to April hums with dry, tropical warmth
01 · Overview
The best time to visit Nicaragua is between November and April, when dry days bring Granada’s colonial charm and Ometepe’s volcanoes to life. With 25°C to 30°C weather, it’s great for surfing San Juan del Sur, exploring León, or hiking Masaya. For lower rates, try October or May.
