Ravaged by decades of war, fire, earthquakes and hurricanes, it is a credit to the Nicaraguan people that Managua still stands today.
In its current incarnation the Nicaraguan capital consists of a vast conurbation whose identity is buried under a low-rise sprawl.
For most travellers, Managua is a springboard for the rest of the country but it does house a few points of interest: some museums, crumbling churches and reportedly the world’s oldest human footprints.
