Nicaragua's The Corn Islands
The Corn Islands
Amidst the endless expanse of virgin rainforest, coastal lagoons and deserted coastline known as the Nicaraguan Caribbean, find the captivating Corn Islands. Comprised of two idyllic distinct island settings, the Corn Islands offer sparkling white beaches caressed by hypnotic azure waters. Just off the mainland coast, discover numerous cays that, combined with the Corn Island, form two distinct archipelagos, as well as an enchanting setting unlike any other in Nicaragua.
Culturally, the Corn Islands differ greatly from its mainland neighbors. Relatively isolated in their pristine Caribbean setting, ancient languages and cultures have survived the test of time and the penetration of modern influence. Visit the Miskito, Mayagna and Rama peoples, whose identity and navigational skills remain well intact and offer a unique color of Nicaragua otherwise un-experienced on the mainland. Enjoy fantastic lobster, a proud result of the devoted fisherman that reside upon the shores of the islands, or venture deep below, where scuba divers will discover an unspoilt paradise like none before.
