# Isn't Nicaragua one of the most dangerous countries in the world?

No! In the Americas, including North, Central, and South America, Nicaragua has the lowest crime rates after Canada. There are, of course, poverty-related crimes such as pickpocketing and robberies using knife threats. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid stepping out alone at night, travel in small groups, avoid deserted areas, and refrain from carrying valuables with you.

Some neighboring countries of Nicaragua, especially Honduras, can be dangerous, and we do not recommend that you travel there.

You should also stay away from political events and demonstrations and refrain from expressing political opinions.
