The capital city of Managua, located on the southern shore of Lake Managua, has been undergoing many changes in the past 10 years or so. Managua was badly damaged by earthquakes in 1931 and 1972 and was easily classified as a third world capital not long ago. Today Managua is the center of Nicaraguan transportation, commerce, finance, and manufacturing and is a major cultural and educational site.

With four lagoons within the city limits, luxurious shopping malls, high class hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and casinos, Managua is a very appealing travel destination. You will also find luxurious coastal resorts, such as Montelimar, offering all the pleasure of the beaches along the Pacific coast.
