NI / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

With 2 neighbours sharing a border, Nicaragua lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

Skip roaming charges and airport-SIM queues: an Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and switches on the second you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It runs on local networks, so there’s no bill shock when you get home.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Nicaragua sits close to the equator, so it stays warm year-round and the calendar splits into wetter and drier spells rather than four seasons. The drier months are usually the easiest for getting around.

MONEY

Paying your way

Keep the trip money in a separate account from your everyday one, with only what you plan to spend in it. If a card gets cloned, you lose a week’s budget and a phone call, not everything you have.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Airlines check for an onward or return ticket at the desk, not the border, and they’ll refuse boarding without one where the rules ask for it. Have the exit booked, or at least printed, before you get to check-in.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

When you share no language at all, writing beats talking: type it, show the screen, let them type back. Speaking louder and slower has never worked for anybody.
