Is Nicaragua safe to visit right now?

Question

I went there 2 years ago and it was great, but I heard the political situation is sketchy again.

Answer 1

Should be.  Ortega is really a capitalist.

My wife is from there.  Her sister is down there visiting family at the moment.

Answer 2

I wouldnt go

Answer 3

Its as safe as can be, and from what i can see from the above post, it actually is the safest in Central America. If you had a great time 2 years ago, don't let Daniel Ortega stop you, the beauty of the country is still there, is it not?

Answer 4

Yes, it is the safest country in Central America. http://www.cbnicaragua.com/safety_in_nic... Check this google search, it searched for "safest country in central america", you see what country pops up: http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=e... You have to understand, the first time Ortega was President here, the u.s. interfered and spurred in civil war. Ortega is doing a great job right now, i am glad he is my president. Just because Ortega is getting help from other countries (Iran, Venezuela, Cuba) doesn't mean anything other than he is trying. We are a poor nation, he wants to help the poor, just like he did in his last presidency.

Answer 5

I just came back from there after a 3 month visit and will be going back in a couple of months.

Just use common sense and you will be fine.

Answer 6

Yes,Nicaragua is the second safest country after Canada.

I'm from Nicaragua and of course you will fine safety there, just because we have a a*****e for president doesn't mean the country has to pay for it.
