Managua

Lake Managua defines much of Departamento de Managua – its southern shore supports Nicaragua’s capital, where government, trade and services drive the department’s economy. The department reaches from the lake across dry tropical lowlands to a short Pacific coastline, giving it a markedly urban yet varied character. Managua itself is the country’s political centre and main transport hub, with Augusto C. Sandino International Airport serving the capital region. Around Plaza de la Revolución, the Old Cathedral of Managua remains a powerful reminder of the 1972 earthquake. Tiscapa Lagoon, set in a volcanic crater within the city, adds an unexpected natural landmark to the metropolitan setting.
