Nicaragua- Land of the shaking earth emerges
Season 3
Episode 307
After 200 years of suffering from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and military and political interventions, a democratic Nicaragua is promoting its diversity of cultures and natural wonders. Miskito Indians from the Caribbean coast and descendants of Aztecs, who hardly know each other, still flourish within the country. Nicaragua’s lakes, forests, and volcanoes earn the accolades they deserve.
