Nicaragua - 10 Shocks of Visiting Nicaragua - Wolters World
video description
You mention the word poverty a lot, omitting the US unilateral coercive sanctions that create economic barriers and keeps the country underdeveloped. Despite those artificial barriers that your government creates for the people, the Sandinista government continues to protect its ongoing Universal Housing program, while the US has over half a million homeless people. I have over $150, 000 in student debt for knowledge, while Nicaragua is guaranteeing free education.
Buddy, you took your family to the volcanos for how much? maybe $25-$30, for a once in a lifetime experience. Do you realize the geothermal energy potential in Nicaragua is the highest in the region? The Sandinista government has provided electricity to over 99% of the population since being reelected in 2007, up from 54% in 2006. Without the US economic sanctions, Nicaragua would already have a fully developed renewable energy sector, fully capable of exporting energy to other countries. US sanctions may slow down the socioeconomic progress, but it doesn't stop them.
! VIVA SANDINO!

We've been living in Nicaragua since the start of the pandemic and it really is a beautiful country! We always find your videos so informative and it was interesting to realise that there are volcanos on Nicaragua's flag - I'd never looked that closely at the picture in the middle of it!
There's still so much of the country that we haven't explored yet, so this video has given us a lot of inspiration for what to see next.
We've been drinking the tap water since we got here and we've been fine, although we hear that foreigners generally go for the bottled water.
Thanks for another great video!

Have you been in Haiti? THAT'S poverty my friend. Poverty levels in Nicaragua, are coming down, more and more people are reaching the middle class, they achieved FREE education on ALL levels and a Health System that the poor in the U. S. can only dream of! And all of that, suffering the effects of sanctions and blockades imposed by the mighty U. S. government.
I am from Latin America, I know
poverty and there are places a lot poorer than Nicaragua. And yes, I have also been in beautiful Nicaragua!
Overall, great video!

note about the sandanistas, yes they are technically disbanded, but a prominent leader of the sandanistas back when active is president today (me cago en la tumba de Daniel Ortega cuando muere, puchica) and he and another sandanista switch in ruling. another thing is that, you still can't talk bad about the sandanistas in some places in nicaragua. also when you give money to Nicaragua, give to the people and community directly, not the oppressive government that continues to impoverish people.

You should have tried VIGORON AND PINOLILLO. What about CARNE EN BAHO( Nicaraguan dish? Lots of food to eat in Nicaragua. You missed it. Youd eat just rice and beans if you request some. Central America diet is based on rice and beans because is cheap to get. As you saw there are lots of poverty. I am Costa Rican. My culture. Good video!

Nicaragua is the safest country south of the USA, just use common sense, especially at night in Managua. I've been here for a number of years and always drank the tap water with no I'll affects. The presidential election is on Nov 7th, after that we will see what happens. Enjoy your visit to a safe and beautiful country.

Wolter, you are very respectful for a white dude. I mean that with total respect and a bit of humor. I admire that you talk about the poverty and suggest we not only look at the provincial buildings, but also be aware of the poverty and try to help out. Gracias Amigo. I would take advice on Nicaragua from you anytime!

The guide farther forward at 4 minutes is Wilfredo. He took us out on the lake, up to a volcano, and swimming in a volcanic crater 7 years ago. I don't think I still have his contact information, but if you see him around the plaza mayor, hire him. He's good.

We have spent 15 weeks in CR over the last few years exploring almost the whole country. Do you find you come across as much wildlife and is it as beautiful as CR in Nicaragua? We have been to Panama and Colombia but I think we will try Nicaragua next!
