Nicaragua has the lowest crime rate in Central America. Common fighting ended in the 1990's. This means that all travel in Nicaragua is completely safe, unlike traveling in most other Central American countries. Not a single attack against a tourist has occured in the last 8 years, compared to about 20 attacks a day in Mexico! The one to be careful of is the Managuan beggers. They will do anything to feed their families. Most families live on $365 a year. Jewelry is not reccromended to wear in Managua. Anyone should feal safe traveling to Nicaragua.
