Bigger is Not Always Better: Big Corn Island, Nicaragua

The Corn Islands, about 40 miles (70 kms) east of the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, are not the easiest places to travel to but your effort will be rewarded. Everyone asks “which island is better?” Spoiler alert: we, like most travelers, prefer Little Corn Island which manages to be more pristine while still having a wider and more interesting array of places to stay, stuff to eat and things to do than it’s bigger, more developed sibling.
