![]() Seeing Nicaragua with your own eyes and exploring the country, is like a roller coaster ride. You will go through emotions and stages, you get to see the pretty, the ugly and the even prettier. When you are not simply going from one place to another but instead you are really traveling and exploring, you get the chance of seeing Nicaragua from a richer perspective, one that goes beyond the nice hotels, adventure tourism and pretty beaches, you get the realest and raw Nicaragua, the one that far from perfect aesthetics and comfy hotel rooms is instead formed by its citizens, culture and idiosyncrasy. Once you decide to appreciate "different" and stop comparing it to what you -have been taught to- know, then you can see beauty in the smallest things, and even when you don't see beauty, you get to see ANS appreciate "uniqueness". Sometimes these differences and unique features of a nation may be the very ones that keep the country together despite the various scenarios as a nation they could be going through. Each week we feature a picture that reflects a Raw and Pure Nicaragua.

Hello, I wanted to express how much I agree with this post! After visiting few communities in Nicaragua, I was struck by simplicity and it's calming effect on the lifestyle. I've volunteered with sustainable charity here last year and I believe my biggest take away was a realization that while development aid is helpful, many foreign volunteers in Nicaragua find what Western communities want to return to the raw and pure, as you write, to organic and simple.
