The multi-ethnic population of six million includes indigenous peoples, Europeans, Africans and Asians. The main language is Spanish. Native tribes on the eastern coast speak their own languages.
The name "Nicaragua" was coined by Spanish colonists based on the name "Nicarao", chief of the most populous indigenous tribe. When Spaniard Gil González Dávila came to Nicaragua in 1521 he found in the areas between Rivas and San Jorge the first pre-Columbian natives of Nicaragua.
The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. Nicaragua gained independence from Spain in 1821.
The mixture of cultural traditions has generated substantial diversity in art and literature, particularly the latter given the literary contributions of Nicaraguan poets and writers, including Rubén Darío, Pablo Antonio Cuadra and Ernesto Cardenal.
The biological diversity, warm tropical climate and active volcanoes make Nicaragua an increasingly popular tourist destination
