​​​@@mariorico440 JAJAJAJAJAJAJA......., tus preguntas son muy graciosas!😂🤣😅. Si precisamente hay lugares de Nicaragua en donde muchos estadounidenses llegaron como turistas, y se quedaron viviendo, tales como San Juan del Sur, Tola, Popoyo, León, Granada, la Isla de Ometepe, y Big Corn Island, y Little Corn Island. Y en el caso particular de San Juan del Sur, por lo menos uno de cada 7 habitantes, o residentes, son de nacionalidad estadounidense, y el resto son de otros países como Canadá, y varios países de Europa. Tan sólo imaginate que la población de San Juan del Sur es de alrededor de 25,000 mil personas, la quinta parte del total de la población son extranjeros, o sea, 5,000 mil personas, y por lo menos alrededor de unos 3,500 tres mil quinientos son ESTADOUNIDENSES.

[@leslierose-akumbu4263]

Good to know Nicaragua hasn't changed (as far as the hospitality and friendliness of people). I have a question. Maybe I missed it, but, you said you live in Rivas but in the video you stated you are visiting north of Managua. Where exactly did this interview take place where you were visiting? Just curious. What you say is true; the mangos, the fruits in variety, the simplicity of life, Nicaraguans are people that will look after you, etc. I lived in the Department of Granada in a small town known for witchcraft called Diriá. This little town is where I lived for 2 years and it was about a one-hour bus ride south of Managua. I lived there in the United States Peace Corps. Had a very good experience! I haven't been back to Nicaragua since 1997? Something like that. Cool to know you made it your home! ("Ayy Nicaragua.. Nicaraguita.... la flor mas linda de me querer......etc...")❤❤💜💜🌹🌹

For someone who doesn’t drive a car how are the buses? Taxis? Or is there a city or towns you don’t need a car ? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@EmenseCoffee]

you can take taxis or shuttles. Buses can get full and it's tuff to travel on them.

[@RebeccaOre]

Most towns in Nicaragua are quite walkable and for shopping, there are shared taxis. Only city that’s not so walkable is Managua. Inter city buses can be challenging. Try to get express buses with tickets. Taxis between cities can be expensive.

I visit Nicaragua for 1 month last year, and would love to be abe to go back for an extended period of time, is it easy to get some type of extension? Where would be the best place to ask for information? I'm from Mexico

[@EmenseCoffee]

Hi! You can stay in nicaragua for 3 months or 90 days until you need to either do a border run or ask for an extension.

[@RebeccaOre]

If you want to become a resident, talk to the Nicaraguan consulate in Mexico about what you’d need. Monthly minimum income for one person is $1k. People do live on less, but for foreign residents, that will be a lower middle class life.
