You need to look up some of the information yourself, but I have been to Nicaragua and will tell you a little about my experience there.
Obviously, since Nicaragua is in Latin America, it is a Spanish speaking country. The dress, the women wear lots of long skirts. The major religion in Nicaragua is Roman Catholic. I went on a mission trip there and the people we saw were poor and I was in the capital which is Managua and surrounding cities. However, they were very happy. Recreations, you can go see the Masaya valcanoe which is still active, it is so beautiful there! I felt like I was in one of the Land Before Times videos or Jurassic Park! While done there, we are lots of chicken and rice! The people down there drive cars and trucks. Some people take buses and a lot of people just walk. Some will even take taxis! They are different from the taxis here in the States but very fun to ride in! http://www.google.com/search?q=taxis+in+nicaragua&... Also, you will probably see people with a horse/donkey buggy! If you are in the poor part of Nicaragua, you will modestly washing there clothes by hand and hung on a line.
Also look up Lake Nicaragua! It is said to be one of the few lakes that is home to a few sharks.
The country of Nicaragua is very beautiful and if you are given the opportunity go there! Now, this is my experience in Nicaragua but look up more information!
Nicaragua has strong folklore, track and devout traditions, deeply influenced with the aid of Iberian culture but enriched with Amerindian sounds and flavors. The west of the country used to be colonized by way of Spain and has a equivalent tradition to different Spanish-speakme American countries. The jap 1/2 of the nation, on the other hand, was once once a British protectorate. English remains to be predominant in this region and spoken domestically together with Spanish and indigenous languages. Its tradition is much like that of Caribbean countries that had been or are British possessions, reminiscent of Jamaica, Belize, the Cayman Islands, and many others. Contemporary immigration through Spanish audio system has largely influenced more youthful generations, and an growing quantity of people are either bilingual at dwelling or converse Spanish only. There's a somewhat colossal populace of folks of combined African descent, as well as a smaller Garifuna population. Because of the African have an impact on, in the East Coast, there is a different type of tune. It's the widespread dance track known as 'Palo de Mayo', or Maypole, which is widely known for the period of the Maypole festival, for the duration of the month of may. The music is sensual with excessive rhythms. The occasion is derived from the British Maypole for may Day celebration, as adapted and modified via the Afro-Nicaraguans on the Caribbean or Mosquito Coast. Of the various cultures that had been reward earlier than European colonization, the Nahuatl-speaking peoples who populated the west of the country have nearly been assimilated into the mainstream culture. Within the east, nevertheless, a few indigenous companies have maintained a distinct identification.
