NICARAGUA is located
in the heart of Central America, bordered by Honduras to the north,
Costa Rica to the south, the Atlantic Ocean ( Caribbean Sea ) to the
east, and Pacific Ocean to the west. The Pacific coast is 352 kilometers
in length and the Atlantic coast 541 km. Nicaragua has two large lakes,
which cover an area of 10,333 km in the Pacific zone of the country.
Nicaragua covers an area of 130,682 km ( 49,759 miles
), making it the largest country in Central America.
Nicaragua has a diverse climate, due to the mountain
range which runs diagonally through Central America from northwest
to southeast. The climate is tropical and dry along the Pacific coast,
cool in the mountain area, and humid in the Caribbean area. The average
annual temperature and rainfall is 27 C and 1,300 mm., respectively.
Two seasons exist: the rainy season ( winter ), from
May to November, and the dry season ( summer ), from December to May.
