Nicaraguans proudly celebrate their official holidays, called
feriados
. Plan your activities around these holidays and don't
count on getting business of any kind done since most
government and private offices will be closed. In fact, the whole
country shuts down during Semana Santa (the week before
Easter) and the week between Christmas and New Year's Days.
