In the heart of Central America, Nicaragua has the largest area of primary-growth rainforest north of the Amazon, six active volcanoes, and 550 miles of coastline.
While visiting the beauty of Nicaragua, it is recommended that time be put aside for the diverse and unique birdlife that is located here. The majorities of the species that are found in Nicaragua are unique to the Central America region and can therefore only be viewed here, in their natural habitat.
The birdlife species is estimated at approximately 688, but as bird watching is a relatively new industry and point of interest for Nicaragua, it can be said with almost certainty, that there could be more species to be discovered and recorded. Nature Reserves are the best locations to visit to view birds, as these areas are less likely to be affected by human activity and visitors have a greater chance at being able to view nesting and a wider variety of birds.
