Once you get out into the countryside, I've never needed a four-wheel drive and I've never had one. However, if you have never had experience driving on rural dirt roads, you might want to have a four-wheel drive vehicle because it is an insurance policy if the roads get really bad because occasionally they do, especially during the rainy season.

Catholicism is very strong in Nicaragua, hence the beautiful Catholic churches that we have. The Catholic service in Nicaragua is a lot like the church services in churches in the US.

People are very proud of their heritage and Catholicism is ingrained into the lifestyle that Nicaraguans live.
