More and more travelers are discovering the delights of Nicaragua—a land of lakes and volcanoes. The image has persisted of a country racked by revolution and war, but the reality awaiting travelers couldn’t be more different.

Travelers' budgets will stretch further here than in other Latin American destinations, and around every corner, there are cobblestone streets, high-altitude coffee plantations, world-class bird-watching, perfect surf, and Flor de Caña, the smoothest rum that ever came out of an oak barrel.

It explores Nicaragua’s national traditions, turbulent history, tasty local dishes, fun fiestas, and unique cultural expressions. It arms readers with key phrases in Nica-speak, or Nicañol, so you can break the ice, and provides insights into what the people of Nicaragua are like at home, at play, and in business. Read more

Dark Star Safari is Paul Theroux's now classic account of a journey from Cairo to Cape Town.Travelling across bush and desert, down rivers and across lakes, and through country after country, Theroux visits some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, and some of the most dangerous. It is a journey of discovery and of rediscovery -- of the unknown and the unexpected, but also of people and places he knew as a young and optimistic teacher forty years before.Safari in Swahili simply means "journey", and this is the ultimate safari. It is Theroux in his element -- a trip where chance encounter is everything, where departure and arrival times are an irrelevance, and where contentment can be found balancing on the top of a truck in the middle of nowhere.Praise for Paul Theroux:'Theroux's work remains the standard by which other travel writing must be judged' Observer'One needs energy to keep up with the extraordinary, productive restlessness of Paul Theroux ... [He is] the most gifted, most prodigal writer of his generation'Jonathan Raban'Always a terrific teller of tales and conjurer of exotic locales, he writes lean prose that lopes along at a compelling pace'Sunday TimesPaul Theroux's books include Dark Star Safari, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Riding the Iron Rooster, The Great Railway Bazaar, The Elephanta Suite, A Dead Hand, The Tao of Travel and The Lower River. The Mosquito Coast and Dr Slaughter have both been made into successful films. Paul Theroux divides his time between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian islands. Read more

A BOLD PEOPLE - A DIFFERENT KIND OF STRENGTH     A freelance journalist on her second trip to Nicaragua reports the unbiased truth of a people's war. Heartbreaking and occasionally even funny, this first-hand account will broaden even the broadest perspective.     If you believe the United States can do no wrong, better brace yourself. Because, even before WWII, Allen Dulles and his CIA began controlling the media, in the US and abroad, to cover up their overthrow of foreign nations, and Nicaragua was not spared.     Throughout this journey, back story is also provided, as well as clarification of politics and terminology so readers don't get lost along the way. But 'Nicaragua Story' is still a lively road trip.     From back cover:     In the 1980s, NICARAGUA experienced an ideology-based revolution rarely seen on the world stage. It was regarded globally as bold and even beautiful. From distant shores, volunteers arrived to support the newly-elected 'Sandinista' government in its quest for self-determination.     The only problem, a massive one, was that its neighbor to the north, none other than the USA, violently opposed the Nicaraguan peoples' overthrow of the previous brutal, dictatorial regime -- that the US had controlled and sponsored for decades.

The Northwest Highlands' cool, crisp climate is a welcome change from the heat of lower elevations, and visitors won't be disappointed by the lush mountains, vibrant cities, and intriguing rural villages that this region has to offer.
