Nicaraguan culture is a rich blend of indigenous, Spanish, and Creole influences. The Güegüense, a satirical drama combining dance, music, and theater, is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Nicaraguan cuisine features dishes like gallo pinto and nacatamal, often enjoyed during family gatherings. The tradition of pottery making in San Juan de Oriente dates back to pre-Columbian times. The Palo de Mayo festival on the Caribbean coast showcases the country’s Afro-Caribbean heritage with vibrant music and dance. Baseball, introduced in the 19th century, has become an integral part of Nicaraguan culture and national identity.
