The government is a presidential representative democratic republic, in which the President of Nicaragua is both head of state and head of government of a multi-party system.

There is no official religion in Nicaragua, but it is estimated that as many as 85% of the inhabitants are Roman Catholic.

The currency is the Córdoba.

General Etiquette

Business breakfasts and lunches are preferable over dinners. The main meal of the day is lunch and traditionally includes black beans, tortillas, or meat.

Only children, family members and close friends address each other by first names.

Use extreme caution when taking photographs. Do not photograph individuals or religious ceremonies without prior permission. Also keep in mind that, due to military significance, photos of transportation depots and bridges may be prohibited.

Business gifts are not generally given on a first trip. However, at the end of your meeting, you should ask if there is anything you can bring back on your next trip.

Our large, non-profit educational group for marketing executives looked for someone knowledgeable on the topic of business etiquette and one name kept rising to the top, Cynthia Lett. Her talk was amazing. Since we were limited by time, she focused on the critical aspects of business interactions. Cynthia is a tremendous resource for any company or organization looking for a protocol course.
