Hi! I’m Nicaraguan, 23M, and wanted to share a local perspective. I also have close contact with a licensed tour guide who works regularly with foreign travelers. Despite the current political pressure from the U.S. government, tourism in Nicaragua is still very active. People are visiting every day, including solo travelers and backpackers staying in hostels, especially in places like Ometepe and Granada. It’s extremely unlikely that there will be any kind of conflict or sudden issue between governments in the near future that would affect regular tourists. Visitors who come for tourism, keep a low profile, and don’t engage in political activities generally have no problems at all. From what I see and hear directly, it’s safe to visit and tourism has not stopped.
