High Season

The weather is sunny, extremely hot and dry throughout the country. Accommodation prices increase considerably. It is necessary to make reservations months ago, especially if you are planning to visit the beach.

Shoulder Season

The climate is cool and humid. In the Pacific the precipitations are constant and abundant, but the Caribbean is still humid. In this month coffee harvest is carried out.

Low Season

The constant precipitations could prevent the accomplishment of certain activities or even the passage to certain ways. There are few tourists and accommodation prices decrease. Tropical storms could occur between September and October.

Your trip to Nicaragua

Your travel to Nicaragua has about 265% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

travelhero tip
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends. If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
