The North Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAS) is the largest territory in Nicaragua. It comprises a large jungle that goes from the mountains and valleys of the Northern and Central region of the country to the elongated coast of the Caribbean Sea, which is a sequence of deltas, swamps, beaches and coastal lagoons. There are diverse natural and cultural attractions in this sparsely populated region, such as old indigenous communities, rain forests, pine forests, white sandy beaches, keys and much more.
Just as the South Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAS), this is an interesting multiethnic zone with a variety of indigenous communities of ancient origin, who still preserve their own language and traditions depending on the contemporary influence of the inhabitants of the Pacific region. The major ethnic group are the 'Miskitos', followed by the Mayagna or Sumus and the Creoles (African origin). The 'Mestizos' come from the Pacific region and have a strong presence in the area.
The local administrative center is the city of Bilwi, also known as Puerto Cabezas. This city-port has a rustic ambiance, but it represents a major fishing spot that also includes hotels, restaurants and nightlife establishments, in addition to a great variety of seafood. Bilwi is a good starting point to organize trips to some picturesque indigenous villages, beaches and wide coastal lagoons in wild state, which are common in the region. An important cultural event is the King Pulanka Festival, which is celebrated by the Miskitos.
The Miskito Keys, located about 50 kilometers from Bilwi (in open sea), are one of the major attractions of the region. This is a group of 70 small islands and islets featuring mangroves, coral reefs, algae banks, white sandy beaches and crystal waters, in addition to an incredible variety of marine life and sea birds. This area was also declared Marine Biological Reserve, and comprises a large area that extends to the mainland.
Other important reserves, constituted by the towns of Siuna, Rosita and Bonanza, can be visited in the mining area of RAAN, which is mainly inhabited by indigenous communities. The area is mostly used for gold mining. Moreover, the enormous Bosawas Biosphere Reserve, which is also shared with the department of Jinotega, is also located here, and features another interesting site: the Cerro Saslaya Reserve. Moreover, another interesting sites of virgin nature are the mountains of Cola Blanca and Banacruz.
There are many other destinations in this department of 7 municipalities. The area of Prinzapolka, Sandy Bay and the remote indigenous communities of Waspán are some of the examples. Due to the characteristics of the region (jungle), this is a destination for adventure and nature lovers. It is worth to mention that transportation is rather problematic because of the distance between communities, as well as the state of the routes. This is part of the reason why the Atlantic Coast was never colonized by Spain, but was always a territory for indigenous tribes and pirates.

Nicaragua is truly deserving of the poetic description as The Land of Lakes and Volcanoes. It is the heart of Central America, situated at the very center of the Americas --an ideal place to visit if you are looking for something truly different and defying. Nicaragua is neatly tucked between two oceans, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of dozens of volcanoes, rivers, and lakes.
The country has three regions with very different weather, geography, and population: Pacific Region, Central Region, and the Caribbean Region consisting of two sub-regions: the Autonomous North Atlantic Region (RAAN), and the Autonomous South Atlantic Region (RAAS).
It is rich in tourist attractions allowing you to choose from an immense variety of activities like swimming or surfing on the gigantic waves of the Pacific Ocean; nature walks to the volcanoes and magical lagoons where you will be a first hand witness to hundreds of animal species and florae, this is especially great for lovers of ecological tourism.
You can go kayaking on the calm waters of Lake Cocibolca, an immense lake with the wonder of over three hundred islands and home of the only fresh water sharks in the world; fabulous rivers, visits to Spanish colonial cities, archeological treasures, and swim and surf on the crystalline waters of the Caribbean.
We encourage you to visit one of our main tourist routes, commonly known as the Coffee Route, located in the northern part of the country; it is a fascinating experience of Alternative Tourism where a venturesome tourist takes to the jungle, encountering animal life and vegetation in their natural environment. Later arriving at coffee farms with ideal and comfortable facilities for the tourist to rest, hike; sightsee while identifying the fauna and flora, mountain biking, horseback riding, and all this happens in a deliciously cool climate.
The Water Route is another tour. This time through the San Juan River and its outlets. It is over 200 Kilometers long and forms a natural border with our southern neighbor, Costa Rica, as it flows into the Caribbean Sea.
The area known as El Castillo is the widest part of the river, surrounded by islands bursting with vegetation and the Indio-Maize Reserve thrives with streams and jungle zones flourishing with flora and fauna.
The beauty and the natural and cultural variety of the country blend well with the hospitality of its people and a history that thrills and inspires. This is a land of great cultural richness, multiethnic and multilingual, opening a door to harmony and wealthy with optimism; all of this makes Nicaragua a unique and exceptional land to visit.
Azores Islands Travel
Azores Islands Travel - The Azores is a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,500 km (930 mi) west from Lisbon and about 3,900 km (2,400 mi) east from the east coast of North America. The Monchique Islet on Flores Island, located at 31° 16 24 W is regarded as the westernmost point in Europe, even though from a geological standpoint the two westernmost Azorean islands (Flores and Corvo) actually lie on the North American plate. The archipelago, and economic exclusion zone, forms the Autonomous Region of the Azores, one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal. Its main industries are: agriculture, dairy farming (for cheese and butter products primarily), minor livestock ranching, fishing and tourism, which is becoming the major service activity in the region. In addition, the government of the Azores is responsible for employing a large percentage of population directly or indirectly in many aspects of the service and tertiary sectors.
The nine major Azorean islands and Formigas extend for more than 600 km (373 mi) and lie in a northwest-southeast direction. The vast extent of the islands defines an immense exclusive economic zone of 1,100,000 km2 (420,000 sq mi). The westernmost point of this area is 3,380 km (2,100 mi) from the North American continent. All of the islands have volcanic origins, although some, such as Santa Maria, have had no historical activity since the islands were settled. Mount Pico, the ex-libris of the island of Pico, is the highest point in Portugal, at 2,351 m (7,713 ft) in altitude. Generally, the Azores are actually the peaks of several of the tallest mountains on the planet, breaking the surface in the mid-Atlantic (as measured from their base at the bottom of the ocean).
In 1877, Samuel Clemens, who found fame under his moniker Mark Twain, wrote of the Azores, as follows: I think the Azores must be very little known in America. Out of our whole ships company there was not a solitary individual who knew anything whatever about them. Some of the party, well read concerning most other lands, had no other information about the Azores than that they were a group of nine or ten small islands far out in the Atlantic, something more than halfway between New York and Gibraltar. That was all.
Because these once uninhabited, remote islands were settled sporadically over a span of two centuries, their culture, dialect, cuisine and traditions vary considerably from island to island. Farming and fishing are key industries that support the Azorean economy. ( source Wikipedia )
