Why?

Your time to shine and lay out specifics. As an American there is zero other people I've ever heard mention Nicaragua as a vacation spot.

You've got all night to write up a response. I'm going to bed.

Nicaragua is nearby with similar landscape, flora, and fauna, but much cheaper is the draw. Not nearly as developed for tourists though as Costa Rica (transportation, guides, national parks, etc.). Maybe preferred if you are a low budget traveler that prefers off the beaten path.

Nowhere near as stable, much hotter, and their medicine is nowhere near comparable to CR. And don't drink the water.

CR's water is potable nationwide.

Nicaragua is what Costa Rica was like before it got overly Americanized. Outside of honeymooners and the fancy resort crowd the people I know who visited both generally prefer Nicaragua.

Which isn't to speak poorly of Costa Rica, sometimes more similar to home is good for a vacation, especially if you're short on time and looking for something easy. If I was taking my mom on a trip it would totally be my choice. But solo or with a friend? Nica wins.
