First time in Nicaragua?
What is local time in Nicaragua?
Nicaragua has the same U.S. Central Standard Time (GMT -6).
Climate and seasons
Nicaragua enjoys an average temperature of 27 degrees C year round. Humidity averages 65%. Throughout the months of December through May, rain is quite rare. These months are known as the high (or dry) season due to the endless amounts of tropical sun, which will fill your days. There are times, however, when strong winds, passing from the Atlantic Ocean over Lake Nicaragua towards the Pacific Ocean, may slightly affect the almost idyllic weather. The advantage of these winds is a cooling effect and a truly natural experience. During this dry summer season, most trees lose their leaves, offering a somewhat bare-looking landscape in parts of the hacienda. Even in the tropics, trees experience their own seasons.
Following high season arrives the vibrant and fresh “green season”. Typically the season will begin around May and extend through December. Punta Teonoste turns into a lush, green paradise, offering rich, dense abundant nature. Rain in the dry tropical forest is not as much or as often as in a tropical rainforest. And when it rains you’ll be enthralled by its refreshing smell and sound. Outdoor activities will not be spoiled by tropical rain showers. On the contrary, trekking through a wet and “growing while you walk” tropical dry forest will clean your lungs and make you feel alive. But if you feel like listening the tropical rain’s symphony, simply retreat back to your bungalow and maybe even catch an afternoon nap.
About the currency
The official currency of Nicaragua is the Cordoba. One U.S. dollar is approximately equal to 21 Cordobas. No need to change U.S. dollars since the Cordobas Dilar is accepted throughout the country. We suggest you take notes of $ 20 or less, since you can make it difficult to change tickets for $ 50 and $ 100. Tickets $ 50 and $ 100 are not allowed in certain establishments on the grounds that they may be false. When paying in Dolar usually the change will be returned in córdobas.

Five international airlines fly to the International Airport of Managua: Two Central Airlines (Copa, and TACA) and 4 North American (Delta, American Airlines, Continental Airlines y AeroMexico)

Mosqui& repellent
Depending on the season, time of day, and of course location, there are seasons where mosquitoes are taken into account, especially after extensive rainfall. Mosquitoes are usually between 5:30 and 6:30 pm during the sunset. It'sa good idea to bring insect repellent, keep it handy if you make a trip. Any good brand to use where you live will also be useful in Nicaragua.
