#CentralAmerica offers lots of great trekking routes.
In Nicaragua, one of the most challenging hikes is to the summit of Cerro Mogotón on the border with Honduras. The country's highest peak, it rises 6,841 feet (2,107 m) above sea level!

#Nicaragua - the Land of Lakes & Volcanoes - is *a tempting escape" says @planetappetite after a tour of colonial cities, lush Isletas, cool coffee mountain plantations, and warm Pacific waters.

These kids loaded up the motorbike with so much wood it was tipping over backwards. Rather than ditching any sticks one of them sat backwards to steady the bundle, and off to school.
Typical scene from rural #Nicaragua.
Many people in #SanPancho earn a bit extra by picando leña!

@AllClear, a travel insurance company, have created a map that replaces the name of each country with the most Wikipedia'd place in that country.
So #Nicaragua is Masaya Volcano, #Chile is Easter Island, #Ecuador is the Galapagos and #Bolivia is Salar de Uyuni!
