Information About Travelling To Nicaragua

About Nicaragua

Legend has it that, just as the Mexicans were guided by the spirits of the people to the great Tenetchitlan, the Aztecs traveled to the south of their empire and settled between the two volcanoes following the signs disposed by their gods. This place was the island of Ometepe, in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, formerly know as he Lake Cocibolca. The first know settlers included the Nicaro Indians, whose name comes from that of Chief Nicaragua, who lived in the Rivas region. They used the same Aztec calender and wrote their laws, rites, etc. in hieroglyphics in black and red ink on strips of deer hide.
