That's Plaza Nicaragua that you are standing in. During the day it is empty. He dropped you there because it's the "downtown" intersection, but it's only lively at night. Salvadore Allende is a private, gated park. So you have to get dropped where you are and walk there.
Yeah Salvador’s Allende was really cool actually. I can see it getting lively at night. It started raining pretty hard though so I headed back to my hotel. But Salvador’s Allende definitely seemed like the spot.
@@travelintylerstyle it's expensive for locals so it's like a boardwalk / pier kinda thing. People do it but sparingly. It's like a special occassion trip. Too bad you didn't see Los Robles or similar. The whole street of nightlclubs is pretty intense. I think afternoons seem sleepy because the party goes until 4am every night of the week. So people rest during the day.
If you thought that that comfy luxury UCA shuttle from Managua to Granada was wild... that's the big "bus" for the metro area (Granada is in the Managua metro, you never really get out of the city as Masaya sits in the middle)... if you take the same UCA shuttle (interlocale) from the same UCA terminal in Managua it'll go right to Leon. But it is a LOT more wild of a ride. Be sure to stock up on the cheap snacks that they lean in and sell as you are waiting for your shuttle to leave the terminal. That's part of the fun.
People is afraid of the corrupt police and criminal goverment. One million nicaraguan have left the country on the last five years, well, some have been kick out.
That àrea of Managua is full of people at night and specially ay the weekends. That àrea is more to walk and edat something or even drinl, but thé comercial area is in other part, maybe around Los Robles, Villa Fontana etc.
I was born in Managua. I was almost 10 when the earthquake of '72 leveled the city. The city didn't really recovered due to the tectonic plates and mismanagment, corruption from the Somozas, the revolution and the political instability. The city grew around the historic downtown in a sort of random way. The Ortega government has been doing some work, mainly roads and parks, making sure the propaganda is visible, and that is one of the reasons you don't see much people in those places, also during the day it can be pretty hot. And also to get around in Managua can be a bit daunting, wether by private car or taxis, or by bus. On a personal note, I don't really care much for Managua, before the earthquake I did enjoy living there but not after. I live in Chinandega. A sleepy town, they like to call it a city but it isn't. But I like it. Because in Chinandega you don't need a car to get around to get what you need. I have two mercados close by, one is less than 3 blocks and the other one is about 6. Even the biggest one I can get there walking if I'm not on a hurry, about 12 minutes. The small shoping mall is a bit further, but a less than 10 minute ride, driving slow, and you can go to the movies, some restaurants, and stores. But what I like best about living here, is the proximity to the beach. If I drive, from my house to Paso Caballos, is less than 20 minutes, a bit further and then I'm in Corinto. If I feel like hiking, then I can head out to El Chonco, a sort of inactive volvano I think, or right next to it is San Cristobal, an active volcano, a bit over 1700 meters above sea level. Climbed it twice. Quite the hike, but the view made it worth it. Then if you want better beaches, go a bit further to Jiquilillo and all the beaches around it, and the marina Puesta del Sol , never been to it but I heard is nice. But I'm not that much into resort type of beaches. Also climbed Cosiguina. Now this one does give you a beautiful view. The volcano had one of the biggest eruptions long time ago. Ashes reached as far as Mexico. There is a beautiful lagoon in the crater. Not allowed to climbed down. But you can see El Salvador and Honduras right across the Fonseca Gulf. Most tourist head out to Granada, SanJuan del Sur. Leon has gotten more popular with tourists. Lots to see there. But if you like the outdoors and quiet beaches, great seafood, without the crowds, Chinandega won't let you down. I forgot to mention: Chinandega is very hot. Probably the hottest in Nicaragua.
Not even a word... ? About 300 killed by the dictator Ortega , no mentioning DISAPPEARED PEOPLE...THOUSANDS...NOT EVEN A WORD....?? WHO ARE YOU S...OF B...?😊
If you went there in late afternoon after the sunset, you would see a much bigger and lively crowd. I think people in Managua or in Nicaragua in general don't go out during the day due to the hot climate. That place would be fun at night.
Andas en la Ciudad Terremoteada, Las Ruinas de la Catedral Vieja de Managua, Ministerio de Cultura, el Monumento de Carlos Fonseca, el fundador del FSLN, pero sus restos no están allí quedaron en las Montañas. Y la gente en Managua no tienen complejo de Gallo, no se levantan tan temprano los Domingos.😊
It seems like you parachuted yourself in the middle of the night. At night Managua is a monster bro. Nicaragua is a beautiful country, specially when you're trying to scape big cities in the States. Don't pay attention to the political BS you hear from some guys, enjoy the ride and F the rest ❤
Yeah I do recognize that actually and I had a night out in Managua after I posted the video. Nothing but respect for Nicaragua and I know Managua is a monster at night and wish I had that to do over for the video.
Puerto Salvador Allende definitely is a great place to be at night. I found Managua pretty quiet and slow during the day but at night it was better for sure.
Managua quedó Silente y Tiene una Gran Herida en su ❤ tenemos "Fallas Teptonicas muy Considerables y por ende no pueden Construirse Casas, ni Edificios Altos, el Hotel con forma de Pirámide donde vivió Howard Huges x muchos años y que abandonó el día del Terremoto de 1972, es uno de los.pocos Edificios Viejos que han quedado, Managua surgió de nuevo en los alrededores del Antiguo Centro de Nuestra Capital. Sorry, nuestra ciudad te guste o no, es Nuestra Amada Capital.❤
Man don't get mad with me but..... How do you travel to a country knowing nothing? You didn't know about the capital, the places to go, the time when to go, the history, the statues, the food.....I mean I 5 minute search in google will do the trick
By the way, that “shore” is Xolotlan lake that is contaminated with the putrid sewer waters of the whole city. Tons of s&#* every day. That smell is of a dead lake.
That area has no life, it's for political events and propaganda. Try going to the Rotonda Bello Horizonte area in the evening, or Zona Rosa for nightclubs and stuff. If you want to see the real people, try going to the open air markets (Mercado Oriental, Mercado Huembes), but watch your belongings!
@@travelintylerstyle Granada is great. But for Nicaragua, it's SUPER sleepy. Managua and Leon are the most lively. Rivas and Matagalpa and Esteli a bit, less so but still lively. Granada is the tourist town and dies at night. Beautiful town, though. But Granada is super easy to "find everything". Everything is for tourists and in one place. Managua has nothing for tourists and they expect you to be a local and zip from one part of the city to another and know where you are going. There's no infrastructure for visitors in any way. Even those of us from other parts of the country struggle to find things in Managua. But during the day, it's super chill and you want to hang at like the Galeria or something unless you are sight seeing. But at night, Managua is likely the most lively city in Central America.
@@ScottAlanMillerVlog ok, that’s good to know about Managua. I wasn’t aware of that. The night I was in Granada it was one of the craziest fiestas in the streets I had ever seen though. I really appreciate your feedback.
@@travelintylerstyle you made it Sunday for the hipico night? I was staying on the main square. If you were there earlier enough my film crew was walking the parade route. But we didn't do a super late night because we burned ourselves out on the Managua one. That party goes through every city in the country over the course of the summer. Leon and Managua have already had it. The Managua one is EPIC beyond all belief. Like easily 100x what you witnessed. It's mayhem. I've got some of it on my channel.
I like the place it's not full of one billion tourists like other cities

@@ScottAlanMillerVlog it’s all making sense to me now. Thank you for the all the information.
@@travelintylerstyle how long are you staying in the country? Gonna make it to Leon?

I'll be going in September.. I can't wait
Esos Monumentos en Miniatura son las reseñas de como era antes del Terremoto de 1972, Managua. 😊
I have lived in Nicaragua for over 20 years and I can understand
Hello Tyler we planning to travel To Nicaragua in October are you feel safe?
Absolutely safe. Consider Granada and Leon if you can also. Great country from a safety standpoint in my experience.
@@travelintylerstyle thank you for your quick response
Very safe but if you want to fall in love with the country go to Granada
yes definitely thank you @@RudyC27

Lo más que ves en Nicaragua, es Comida x todos lados y Miles y Miles de Negocios.😊
Hermoso

Yeah you are right, I actually realized that the day after posting the video when I was out at night and it was pretty active for sure.
Does it rain there a little that day? Or is just cloudy weather often and no rain?
It felt like it was going to rain hard but then never really did. So maybe it does just get cloudy but not really rain.
Nicaragua es un pais encantador no se porque tanta envidia con Nicaragua arriba Nicaragua eres hermosa Mexico te quiere

Are there any taxis 🚕🚖? You don't need a Uber for everything
Good restaurants?
There's definitely one capital city that's even lonelier! Have a look at Naypyidaw, Myanmar!
Great point!
Your ten minutes walk from my girlfriends house at night it’s full of people and lots of food and amusement park
Al menos las Calles solitarias y limpias, no Sucuas como las de Phoenix o Philadelphia 😊
Top ten things includes one going back to sleep 😴
Managuas go out more at night. We run from the sun.
Dunday everyone in church in AM
What that hell are you doing at that time. Managua is a night city. Where the party start. 🎉
I agree, not sure what I was thinking. I realized that the next day after posting the video.
Man don't get mad with me but..... How do you travel to a country knowing nothing? You didn't know about the capital, the places to go, the time when to go, the history, the statues, the food.....I mean I 5 minute search in google will do the trick
Yeah that’s a solid point. Wish I had Managua to do over again.
By the way, that “shore” is Xolotlan lake that is contaminated with the putrid sewer waters of the whole city. Tons of s&#* every day. That smell is of a dead lake.
Yeah that all makes sense now.
Thats just the way i like it. I dont like it when theres a lot of people and music and beggars. Its also dirt cheap. Im gonna retire there
Generalmente esa zona no es asi, no se que pasó que justo la encuentras vacía sin gente.

Yeah I was able to see some livelier areas later on. But went to Granada after and that city was amazing.

sounds sketchy as fuck
