Corn Islands
Adventurous travellers should definitely include the Corn
Islands on their list of things to do in Nicaragua. Situated 40
miles (70km) from the mainland, the two islands are home to howler
monkeys, while the seas and coral reefs surrounding the islands are
popular with divers wishing to see barracudas, nurse sharks,
spotted eagle rays and green turtles. Tourists visiting the islands
won't find modern hotels or resorts on the islands; instead there
are a few sparsely populated villages and a wealth of unspoiled
plant and animal life. The Corn Islands are a perfect
off-the-beaten-track destination in Nicaragua.
