Safety Etiquette in Nicaragua

In Nicaragua, travelers should stay alert in cities and on transport, keep valuables out of sight, and use registered taxis or trusted rides rather than hailing random vehicles at night. Locals are generally friendly and helpful, but petty theft and occasional street crime mean it is normal to take the same common-sense precautions you would in any place with uneven security, especially around markets, bus terminals, and crowded nightlife areas.
