We set out from Nicaragua heading South to Costa Rica, but somehow ended up North in Honduras! All in all, it turned out to be a good turn of events . . . without turning around, we never would have discovered the Gulf of Fonseca, El Tigre Island, and the abandoned CIA base at the top of a volcano.

El Salvador, officially the Republic of El Salvador (Spanish: República de El Salvador, literally "Republic of The Savior"; Pipil: Kūskatan), is the smallest and the most densely populated country in Central America. The country's capital city and largest city is San Salvador. Important cultural and commercial centers for Central America on the whole include Santa Ana and San Miguel. El Salvador borders the Pacific Ocean on the south, and the countries of Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east. Its easternmost region lies on the coast of the Gulf of Fonseca, opposite Nicaragua. As of 2013, El Salvador had a population of approximately 6,290,420 people, composed predominantly of Mestizos.
The colón was the official currency of El Salvador from 1892 to 2001, when it adopted the U.S. Dollar.
In 2010 El Salvador ranked twelfth among Latin American countries in terms of the Human Development Index and fourth in Central America (behind Panama, Costa Rica, and Belize), due in part to ongoing rapid industrialization.
The indigo plant (called añil in Spanish), which yielded a rich blue dye, was El Salvador's most important crop during the colonial period; its place was taken by coffee in the second half of the 19th century. Between 1871 and 1927 coffee production so dominated the country's economy that it was known as the Coffee Republic, and by the early 20th century, coffee accounted for 90 percent of the country's export earnings. Its importance to the economy began to decline after the Great Depression; by 1987 it was responsible for half of export earnings, and by 2004 coffee production accounted for only 7 percent.
Civilization in El Salvador dates to its settlement by the Native American Pipil people, Nahua speaking groups who migrated from Mexico in the centuries before the European conquest and occupied the central and western regions. They called their territory Cuzcatlan, a Pipil word meaning The Place of Precious Jewels, hispanicized as Cuzcatlán. The people of El Salvador today are variably referred to as Salvadoran, while the term Cuzcatleco is commonly used to identify someone of Salvadoran heritage.
In pre-Columbian times the country was also inhabited by various other Native American peoples, including the Lenca, a Chilanga Lencan-speaking group who settled in the eastern highlands. Cuzcatlan was the larger domain until the Spanish conquest. Since El Salvador resided on the eastern edge of the Mayan Civilization, the origins of many of El Salvador's ruins are controversial. However, it is widely agreed that Mayans likely occupied the areas around Lago de Guija and Cihuatan. Other ruins such as Tazumal, Joya de Ceren and San Andres may have been created by the Pipil or the Mayan or possibly both.
In 1520 the indigenous population of the territory had been reduced by 80% due to the smallpox epidemic that affected the Mesoamerican area. The Spanish Admiral Andrés Niño led an expedition to Central America and disembarked on Meanguera island, which he named Petronila, in the Gulf of Fonseca, on May 31, 1522. Thereafter he discovered Jiquilisco Bay on the mouth of Lempa River. This was the first known visit by Spaniards to what is now Salvadoran territory.
In 1524, after participating in the conquest of Mexico, Spanish Conquistadors led by Pedro de Alvarado and his brother Gonzalo crossed the Rio Paz (Peace River) from the area comprising the present Republic of Guatemala into what is now the Republic of El Salvador. The Spaniards were disappointed to discover that the indigenous Pipil people had no gold or jewels like those they had found in Guatemala or Mexico, but recognized the richness of the verdant land's volcanic soil.

Nicaragua, officially the Republic of Nicaragua (Spanish: República de Nicaragua ), is the largest country in the Central American isthmus, bordering Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. The country is situated between 11 and 14 degrees north of the Equator in the Northern Hemisphere, which places it entirely within the tropics. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. The country's physical geography divides it into three major zones: Pacific lowlands; wet, cooler central highlands; and the Caribbean lowlands. On the Pacific side of the country are the two largest fresh water lakes in Central America—Lake Managua and Lake Nicaragua. Surrounding these lakes and extending to their northwest along the rift valley of the Gulf of Fonseca are fertile lowland plains, with soil highly enriched by ash from nearby volcanoes of the central highlands. Nicaragua's abundance of biologically significant and unique ecosystems contribute to Mesoamerica's designation as a biodiversity hotspot.
The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. Nicaragua achieved its independence from Spain in 1821. Since its independence, Nicaragua has undergone periods of political unrest, dictatorship, and fiscal crisis—the most notable causes that led to the Nicaraguan Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. Nicaragua is a representative democratic republic, and has experienced economic growth and political stability in recent years. Since 2007, Daniel Ortega has been the President.
The population of Nicaragua, approximately 6 million, is multiethnic. Its capital, Managua, is the third-largest city in Central America. Segments of the population include indigenous native tribes from the Mosquito Coast, Europeans, Africans, Asians, and people of Middle Eastern origin. The main language is Spanish, although native tribes on the eastern coast speak their native languages, such as Miskito, Sumo, and Rama, as well as English Creole. The mixture of cultural traditions has generated substantial diversity in art and literature, particularly the latter given the various literary contributions of Nicaraguan poets and writers, including Rubén Darío, Pablo Antonio Cuadra and Ernesto Cardenal. The biological diversity, warm tropical climate, and active volcanoes make Nicaragua an increasingly popular tourist destination.
In pre-Columbian times, in what is now known as Nicaragua, the indigenous people were part of the Intermediate Area, between the Mesoamerican and Andean cultural regions, and within the influence of the Isthmo-Colombian area. The Pipil migrated to Nicaragua from central Mexico after 500 BC.
At the end of the 15th century, western Nicaragua was inhabited by several indigenous peoples related by culture to the Mesoamerican civilizations of the Aztec and Maya, and by language to the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area. Meanwhile, the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua was inhabited by other peoples, mostly Chibcha language groups. They had coalesced in Central America and migrated also to present-day northern Colombia and nearby areas. They lived a life based primarily on hunting and gathering.
In 1502, Christopher Columbus was the first European known to have reached what is now Nicaragua as he sailed southeast toward the Isthmus of Panama. On his fourth voyage, Columbus explored the Miskito Coast on the Atlantic side of Nicaragua. The Spanish then returned to the western part of what became known as Nicaragua and encountered the three most populous indigenous tribes of people in the land: The tribe led by Nicaragua, the indigenous chieftain Nicaragua is truly named after, but was erroneously thought to be Nicarao, the chief of another group of indigenous peoples, and Diriangen, the chieftain of a group of indigenous peoples living in central Nicaragua. The Spanish attempted to convert all three tribes to Christianity; Nicaragua and Nicarao and their people converted, but Dirangen, however, did not, and was openly hostile to the Spaniards. The first attempt to conquer what is now known as Nicaragua was by Gil González Dávila, who arrived in Panama in January 1520. After exploring and gathering gold in the fertile western valleys, González was attacked by the indigenous people, some of whom were commanded by Nicarao, and an estimated 3,000 led by the chief Diriangén.

With wild volcanic and jungle landscapes, atmospheric colonial towns and staggering archeological sites, both Guatemala and Honduras offer diversity enough for everyone from bird watchers, to adventure sport enthusiasts, to history buffs.
Some regions remain utterly wild and free, while others were tamed by Mayans as far back as 400 BC. They left behind dramatic, inspiring and important archaeological sites such as Honduras' glorious "lost city of Copán" and Guatemala's Mayan temple city of Tikal, which rivals the world's other grand pyramid sites. In addition to the stunning ancient ruins, Guatemala offers a vibrant diversity of jungle landscapes, atmospheric Spanish colonial towns and famous indigenous markets. Honduras' biodiversity is spread across cloud-forested mountains, tropical rainforests, wildlife-rich lakes and two coasts -- the Caribbean Sea on the north and the Pacific Ocean on the south through the Gulf of Fonseca. This area connecting North and South America has served as a cultural and biological corridor for millennia. As part of the Mesoamerican Biodiversity hotspot, Central America contains seven percent of the world's biodiversity. That means travelers can expect stellar nature adventures in fishing, snorkeling, jungle treks, and more. From bare-foot resorts nestled among swaying palms on white sand beaches, to mountain retreats with the ambiance of relaxation, Guatemala and Honduras have a vast menu of choices to create the perfect holiday getaway.

VOA news for Thursday, April 7th, 2016
Thanks to http://gandalf.ddo.jp/ for audio and text
From Washington, this is VOA news. I'm David DeForest reporting. EU officials move to make the migrant return process more humane.
European Union officials are pledging that there will be "no automatic return" for the migrants before they are given a chance to apply for asylum. The announcement follows angry protests by international human rights activists who had accused the EU of denying migrants the basic rights of refugees to seek asylum.
Meanwhile, Turkey is to receive a second group of migrants deported from Greece.
The odds of a unity government taking hold in Libya got smaller Wednesday when the current Tripoli-based government backed down from its earlier promise to give up power.
Now it says the new U.N.-brokered unity government violates Libyan sovereignty.
Libya has been split between rival governments -- the pro-Islamic administration that took over in [Triboli] Tripoli, rather, and what had been the internationally recognized government that met in Tobruk.
Tobruk authorities are also refusing to recognize the unity government.
A Panamanian law firm says the millions of documents leaked from its offices this week about offshore bank accounts were stolen by hackers, not divulged by an insider.
Ramon Fonseca, one of the founders of the Mossack Fonseca firm, says he has ruled out an inside job. He said the hacking was carried out from overseas, but he didn't say what country.
NATO is preparing to step up its response to threats from the Islamic State group and from Russia.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance is neither seeking confrontation with Russia nor a new cold war. But Stoltenberg told VOA NATO is implementing the biggest reinforcement of its collective defense since the end of the Cold War in response to the new security environment.
This is VOA news.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz's resounding win over Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the Wisconsin primary election Tuesday makes it more likely that none of the three candidates will have enough votes to win the party's nomination.
Speaking Wednesday in New York, Cruz said the campaign changed in Wisconsin. "And I'm so encouraged after what was a terrific victory yesterday in Wisconsin. It was a turning point, I believe, in this entire election.”
The Democratic race, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facing growing competition from her sole challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders has defeated her in six of the last seven state nominating contests, including the primary Tuesday in Wisconsin.
The World Health Organization reports 422 million adults are living with diabetes, a four-fold increase over 1980 figures. Lisa Schlein takes a look.
The release of this report in advance of World Health Day is meant as a call to global action to halt the rise of type 2 diabetes, which is killing 1.5 million people a year. The World Health Organization estimates 43 percent of these deaths occur prematurely, before the age of 70.
The WHO says the highest rates are in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the western Pacific.
The WHO report says the dramatic rise of this deadly disease is largely due to the increasing number of overweight and obese people.
Lisa Schlein, Geneva.
A majority of the Dutch who voted in Wednesday's referendum rejected the European Union trade agreement with Ukraine.
The exit polls showed 64 percent of those who voted said "no" on the idea, with some 36 percent voting in favor.
Here is Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders: "We are not here and not sure yet if 30 percent of the people have voted. That's a threshold. So there is still uncertainty there. When we look at the preliminary outcome right now, it looks like a majority of the people have voted against the association agreement.”
The exit polls initially put turnout at 29 percent, 30 needed to make it valid.
Regional security issues will be the focus of discussions for Secretary of State John Kerry as he visits Bahrain. Bahrain is on the first leg of a week-long overseas trip.
Kerry will meet with his counterparts on the Gulf Cooperation Council. He will make preparations for President Barack Obama's attendance at an April 21 GCC summit in Saudi Arabia. Kerry will also discuss efforts to combat the Islamic State group and the efforts to stabilize Yemen and Libya.
Later in the week, Kerry will travel to Hiroshima, Japan, where he will attend a G7 ministerial meeting.
From the VOA news center in Washington, I'm David DeForest.
That's the latest world news from VOA.

The Gulf of Fonseca (Spanish: Golfo de Fonseca), part of the Pacific Ocean, a gulf in Central America, bordering El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua.
Fonseca Bay was discovered in 1522 by Gil Gonzalez de Avila, and named by him after his patron, Archbishop Juan Fonseca, the implacable enemy of Columbus[citation needed].
In 1849, E. G. Squier negotiated a treaty for the United States to build a canal across Honduras from the Caribbean Sea to the Gulf. Frederick Chatfield, the British commander in Central America, was afraid that American presence in Honduras would destabilize the British Mosquito Coast, and sent his fleet to occupy El Tigre Island at the entrance to the Gulf. Shortly thereafter, however, Squier demanded the British leave, since he had anticipated the occupation and negotiated the island's temporary cession to the United States. Chatfield could only comply.
All three countries—Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua—with coastline along the Gulf have been involved in a lengthy dispute over the rights to the Gulf and the islands located within. In 1992, a chamber of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decided the Land, Island and Maritime Frontier Dispute, of which the Gulf dispute was a part. The ICJ determined that El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua were to share control of the Gulf of Fonseca. El Salvador was awarded the islands of Meanguera and Meanguerita, while Honduras was awarded El Tigre island.

The announcement follows angry protests by international human rights activists who had accused the EU of denying migrants the basic rights of refugees to seek asylum.

The odds of a unity government taking hold in Libya got smaller Wednesday when the current Tripoli-based government backed down from its earlier promise to give up power. Now it says the new U.N.-brokered unity government violates Libyan sovereignty. Libya has been split between rival governments -- the pro-Islamic administration that took over in [Triboli] Tripoli, rather, and what had been the internationally recognized government that met in Tobruk. Tobruk authorities are also refusing to recognize the unity government. A Panamanian law firm says the millions of documents leaked from its offices this week about offshore bank accounts were stolen by hackers, not divulged by an insider. Ramon Fonseca, one of the founders of the Mossack Fonseca firm, says he has ruled out an inside job. He said the hacking was carried out from overseas, but he didn't say what country. NATO is preparing to step up its response to threats from the Islamic State group and from Russia.

A majority of the Dutch who voted in Wednesday's referendum rejected the European Union trade agreement with Ukraine. The exit polls showed 64 percent of those who voted said "no" on the idea, with some 36 percent voting in favor. Here is Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders: "We are not here and not sure yet if 30 percent of the people have voted. That's a threshold. So there is still uncertainty there. When we look at the preliminary outcome right now, it looks like a majority of the people have voted against the association agreement.” The exit polls initially put turnout at 29 percent, 30 needed to make it valid. Regional security issues will be the focus of discussions for Secretary of State John Kerry as he visits Bahrain. Bahrain is on the first leg of a week-long overseas trip. Kerry will meet with his counterparts on the Gulf Cooperation Council. He will make preparations for President Barack Obama's attendance at an April 21 GCC summit in Saudi Arabia. Kerry will also discuss efforts to combat the Islamic State group and the efforts to stabilize Yemen and Libya. Later in the week, Kerry will travel to Hiroshima, Japan, where he will attend a G7 ministerial meeting. From the VOA news center in Washington, I'm David DeForest. That's the latest world news from VOA. -

El epicentro del terremoto se ubicó a una profundidad de diez kilómetros. Al extenderse sobre tres de las placas tectónicas, México es una de las regiones sísmicas más activas del mundo.

Guatemala
With wild volcanic and jungle landscapes, atmospheric colonial towns and staggering archeological sites, both Guatemala and Honduras offer diversity enough for everyone from bird watchers, to adventure sport enthusiasts, to history buffs. Some regions remain utterly wild and free, while others were tamed by Mayans as far back as 400 BC. They left behind dramatic, inspiring and important archaeological sites such as Honduras' glorious "lost city of Copán" and Guatemala's Mayan temple city of Tikal, which rivals the world's other grand pyramid sites. In addition to the stunning ancient ruins, Guatemala offers a vibrant diversity of jungle landscapes, atmospheric Spanish colonial towns and famous indigenous markets.

VOA news for Thursday, April 7th, 2016
VOA news for Thursday, April 7th, 2016 Thanks to http://gandalf.ddo.jp/ for audio and text From Washington, this is VOA news. I'm David DeForest reporting. EU officials move to make the migrant return process more humane. European Union officials are pledging that there will be "no automatic return" for the migrants before they are given a chance to apply for asylum. The announcement follows angry protests by international human rights activists who had accused the EU of denying migrants the basic rights of refugees to seek asylum. Meanwhile, Turkey is to receive a second group of migrants deported from Greece. The odds of a unity government taking hold in Libya got smaller Wednesday when the current Tripoli-based government backed down from its earlier promise to give up power. Now it sa... -

El Salvador, officially the Republic of El Salvador (Spanish: República de El Salvador, literally "Republic of The Savior"; Pipil: Kūskatan), is the smallest and the most densely populated country in Central America. The country's capital city and largest city is San Salvador. Important cultural and commercial centers for Central America on the whole include Santa Ana and San Miguel. El Salvador borders the Pacific Ocean on the south, and the countries of Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east. Its easternmost region lies on the coast of the Gulf of Fonseca, opposite Nicaragua. As of 2013, El Salvador had a population of approximately 6,290,420 people, composed predominantly of Mestizos.
The colón was the official currency of El Salvador from 1892 to 2001, when it adopted the U.S. Dollar.
In 2010 El Salvador ranked twelfth among Latin American countries in terms of the Human Development Index and fourth in Central America (behind Panama, Costa Rica, and Belize), due in part to ongoing rapid industrialization.
The indigo plant (called añil in Spanish), which yielded a rich blue dye, was El Salvador's most important crop during the colonial period; its place was taken by coffee in the second half of the 19th century. Between 1871 and 1927 coffee production so dominated the country's economy that it was known as the Coffee Republic, and by the early 20th century, coffee accounted for 90 percent of the country's export earnings. Its importance to the economy began to decline after the Great Depression; by 1987 it was responsible for half of export earnings, and by 2004 coffee production accounted for only 7 percent.
Civilization in El Salvador dates to its settlement by the Native American Pipil people, Nahua speaking groups who migrated from Mexico in the centuries before the European conquest and occupied the central and western regions. They called their territory Cuzcatlan, a Pipil word meaning The Place of Precious Jewels, hispanicized as Cuzcatlán. The people of El Salvador today are variably referred to as Salvadoran, while the term Cuzcatleco is commonly used to identify someone of Salvadoran heritage.
In pre-Columbian times the country was also inhabited by various other Native American peoples, including the Lenca, a Chilanga Lencan-speaking group who settled in the eastern highlands. Cuzcatlan was the larger domain until the Spanish conquest. Since El Salvador resided on the eastern edge of the Mayan Civilization, the origins of many of El Salvador's ruins are controversial. However, it is widely agreed that Mayans likely occupied the areas around Lago de Guija and Cihuatan. Other ruins such as Tazumal, Joya de Ceren and San Andres may have been created by the Pipil or the Mayan or possibly both.
In 1520 the indigenous population of the territory had been reduced by 80% due to the smallpox epidemic that affected the Mesoamerican area. The Spanish Admiral Andrés Niño led an expedition to Central America and disembarked on Meanguera island, which he named Petronila, in the Gulf of Fonseca, on May 31, 1522. Thereafter he discovered Jiquilisco Bay on the mouth of Lempa River. This was the first known visit by Spaniards to what is now Salvadoran territory.
In 1524, after participating in the conquest of Mexico, Spanish Conquistadors led by Pedro de Alvarado and his brother Gonzalo crossed the Rio Paz (Peace River) from the area comprising the present Republic of Guatemala into what is now the Republic of El Salvador. The Spaniards were disappointed to discover that the indigenous Pipil people had no gold or jewels like those they had found in Guatemala or Mexico, but recognized the richness of the verdant land's volcanic soil.

Nicaragua, officially the Republic of Nicaragua (Spanish: República de Nicaragua ), is the largest country in the Central American isthmus, bordering Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. The country is situated between 11 and 14 degrees north of the Equator in the Northern Hemisphere, which places it entirely within the tropics. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. The country's physical geography divides it into three major zones: Pacific lowlands; wet, cooler central highlands; and the Caribbean lowlands. On the Pacific side of the country are the two largest fresh water lakes in Central America—Lake Managua and Lake Nicaragua. Surrounding these lakes and extending to their northwest along the rift valley of the Gulf of Fonseca are fertile lowland plains, with soil highly enriched by ash from nearby volcanoes of the central highlands. Nicaragua's abundance of biologically significant and unique ecosystems contribute to Mesoamerica's designation as a biodiversity hotspot.
The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. Nicaragua achieved its independence from Spain in 1821. Since its independence, Nicaragua has undergone periods of political unrest, dictatorship, and fiscal crisis—the most notable causes that led to the Nicaraguan Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. Nicaragua is a representative democratic republic, and has experienced economic growth and political stability in recent years. Since 2007, Daniel Ortega has been the President.
The population of Nicaragua, approximately 6 million, is multiethnic. Its capital, Managua, is the third-largest city in Central America. Segments of the population include indigenous native tribes from the Mosquito Coast, Europeans, Africans, Asians, and people of Middle Eastern origin. The main language is Spanish, although native tribes on the eastern coast speak their native languages, such as Miskito, Sumo, and Rama, as well as English Creole. The mixture of cultural traditions has generated substantial diversity in art and literature, particularly the latter given the various literary contributions of Nicaraguan poets and writers, including Rubén Darío, Pablo Antonio Cuadra and Ernesto Cardenal. The biological diversity, warm tropical climate, and active volcanoes make Nicaragua an increasingly popular tourist destination.
In pre-Columbian times, in what is now known as Nicaragua, the indigenous people were part of the Intermediate Area, between the Mesoamerican and Andean cultural regions, and within the influence of the Isthmo-Colombian area. The Pipil migrated to Nicaragua from central Mexico after 500 BC.
At the end of the 15th century, western Nicaragua was inhabited by several indigenous peoples related by culture to the Mesoamerican civilizations of the Aztec and Maya, and by language to the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area. Meanwhile, the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua was inhabited by other peoples, mostly Chibcha language groups. They had coalesced in Central America and migrated also to present-day northern Colombia and nearby areas. They lived a life based primarily on hunting and gathering.
In 1502, Christopher Columbus was the first European known to have reached what is now Nicaragua as he sailed southeast toward the Isthmus of Panama. On his fourth voyage, Columbus explored the Miskito Coast on the Atlantic side of Nicaragua. The Spanish then returned to the western part of what became known as Nicaragua and encountered the three most populous indigenous tribes of people in the land: The tribe led by Nicaragua, the indigenous chieftain Nicaragua is truly named after, but was erroneously thought to be Nicarao, the chief of another group of indigenous peoples, and Diriangen, the chieftain of a group of indigenous peoples living in central Nicaragua. The Spanish attempted to convert all three tribes to Christianity; Nicaragua and Nicarao and their people converted, but Dirangen, however, did not, and was openly hostile to the Spaniards. The first attempt to conquer what is now known as Nicaragua was by Gil González Dávila, who arrived in Panama in January 1520. After exploring and gathering gold in the fertile western valleys, González was attacked by the indigenous people, some of whom were commanded by Nicarao, and an estimated 3,000 led by the chief Diriangén.

Nicaragua is a representative democratic republic, and has experienced economic growth and political stability in recent years. Since 2007, Daniel Ortega has been the President.
The population of Nicaragua, approximately 6 million, is multiethnic. Its capital, Managua, is the third-largest city in Central America. Segments of the population include indigenous native tribes from the Mosquito Coast, Europeans, Africans, Asians, and people of Middle Eastern origin. The main language is Spanish, although native tribes on the eastern coast speak their native languages, such as Miskito, Sumo, and Rama, as well as English Creole. The mixture of cultural traditions has generated substantial diversity in art and literature, particularly the latter given the various literary contributions of Nicaraguan poets and writers, including Rubén Darío, Pablo Antonio Cuadra and Ernesto Cardenal. The biological diversity, warm tropical climate, and active volcanoes make Nicaragua an increasingly popular tourist destination.
In pre-Columbian times, in what is now known as Nicaragua, the indigenous people were part of the Intermediate Area, between the Mesoamerican and Andean cultural regions, and within the influence of the Isthmo-Colombian area. The Pipil migrated to Nicaragua from central Mexico after 500 BC.
At the end of the 15th century, western Nicaragua was inhabited by several indigenous peoples related by culture to the Mesoamerican civilizations of the Aztec and Maya, and by language to the Mesoamerican Linguistic Area. Meanwhile, the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua was inhabited by other peoples, mostly Chibcha language groups. They had coalesced in Central America and migrated also to present-day northern Colombia and nearby areas. They lived a life based primarily on hunting and gathering.
In 1502, Christopher Columbus was the first European known to have reached what is now Nicaragua as he sailed southeast toward the Isthmus of Panama. On his fourth voyage, Columbus explored the Miskito Coast on the Atlantic side of Nicaragua. The Spanish then returned to the western part of what became known as Nicaragua and encountered the three most populous indigenous tribes of people in the land: The tribe led by Nicaragua, the indigenous chieftain Nicaragua is truly named after, but was erroneously thought to be Nicarao, the chief of another group of indigenous peoples, and Diriangen, the chieftain of a group of indigenous peoples living in central Nicaragua. The Spanish attempted to convert all three tribes to Christianity; Nicaragua and Nicarao and their people converted, but Dirangen, however, did not, and was openly hostile to the Spaniards. The first attempt to conquer what is now known as Nicaragua was by Gil González Dávila, who arrived in Panama in January 1520. After exploring and gathering gold in the fertile western valleys, González was attacked by the indigenous people, some of whom were commanded by Nicarao, and an estimated 3,000 led by the chief Diriangén.

With wild volcanic and jungle landscapes, atmospheric colonial towns and staggering archeological sites, both Guatemala and Honduras offer diversity enough for everyone from bird watchers, to adventure sport enthusiasts, to history buffs.
Some regions remain utterly wild and free, while others were tamed by Mayans as far back as 400 BC. They left behind dramatic, inspiring and important archaeological sites such as Honduras' glorious "lost city of Copán" and Guatemala's Mayan temple city of Tikal, which rivals the world's other grand pyramid sites. In addition to the stunning ancient ruins, Guatemala offers a vibrant diversity of jungle landscapes, atmospheric Spanish colonial towns and famous indigenous markets. Honduras' biodiversity is spread across cloud-forested mountains, tropical rainforests, wildlife-rich lakes and two coasts -- the Caribbean Sea on the north and the Pacific Ocean on the south through the Gulf of Fonseca. This area connecting North and South America has served as a cultural and biological corridor for millennia. As part of the Mesoamerican Biodiversity hotspot, Central America contains seven percent of the world's biodiversity. That means travelers can expect stellar nature adventures in fishing, snorkeling, jungle treks, and more. From bare-foot resorts nestled among swaying palms on white sand beaches, to mountain retreats with the ambiance of relaxation, Guatemala and Honduras have a vast menu of choices to create the perfect holiday getaway.

VOA news for Thursday, April 7th, 2016

From Washington, this is VOA news. I'm David DeForest reporting. EU officials move to make the migrant return process more humane.
European Union officials are pledging that there will be "no automatic return" for the migrants before they are given a chance to apply for asylum. The announcement follows angry protests by international human rights activists who had accused the EU of denying migrants the basic rights of refugees to seek asylum.
Meanwhile, Turkey is to receive a second group of migrants deported from Greece.
The odds of a unity government taking hold in Libya got smaller Wednesday when the current Tripoli-based government backed down from its earlier promise to give up power.
Now it says the new U.N.-brokered unity government violates Libyan sovereignty.
Libya has been split between rival governments -- the pro-Islamic administration that took over in [Triboli] Tripoli, rather, and what had been the internationally recognized government that met in Tobruk.
Tobruk authorities are also refusing to recognize the unity government.
A Panamanian law firm says the millions of documents leaked from its offices this week about offshore bank accounts were stolen by hackers, not divulged by an insider.
Ramon Fonseca, one of the founders of the Mossack Fonseca firm, says he has ruled out an inside job. He said the hacking was carried out from overseas, but he didn't say what country.
NATO is preparing to step up its response to threats from the Islamic State group and from Russia.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance is neither seeking confrontation with Russia nor a new cold war. But Stoltenberg told VOA NATO is implementing the biggest reinforcement of its collective defense since the end of the Cold War in response to the new security environment.
This is VOA news.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz's resounding win over Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the Wisconsin primary election Tuesday makes it more likely that none of the three candidates will have enough votes to win the party's nomination.
Speaking Wednesday in New York, Cruz said the campaign changed in Wisconsin. "And I'm so encouraged after what was a terrific victory yesterday in Wisconsin. It was a turning point, I believe, in this entire election.”
The Democratic race, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facing growing competition from her sole challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Sanders has defeated her in six of the last seven state nominating contests, including the primary Tuesday in Wisconsin.
The World Health Organization reports 422 million adults are living with diabetes, a four-fold increase over 1980 figures. Lisa Schlein takes a look.
The release of this report in advance of World Health Day is meant as a call to global action to halt the rise of type 2 diabetes, which is killing 1.5 million people a year. The World Health Organization estimates 43 percent of these deaths occur prematurely, before the age of 70.
The WHO says the highest rates are in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the western Pacific.
The WHO report says the dramatic rise of this deadly disease is largely due to the increasing number of overweight and obese people.
Lisa Schlein, Geneva.
A majority of the Dutch who voted in Wednesday's referendum rejected the European Union trade agreement with Ukraine.
The exit polls showed 64 percent of those who voted said "no" on the idea, with some 36 percent voting in favor.
Here is Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders: "We are not here and not sure yet if 30 percent of the people have voted. That's a threshold. So there is still uncertainty there. When we look at the preliminary outcome right now, it looks like a majority of the people have voted against the association agreement.”
The exit polls initially put turnout at 29 percent, 30 needed to make it valid.
Regional security issues will be the focus of discussions for Secretary of State John Kerry as he visits Bahrain. Bahrain is on the first leg of a week-long overseas trip.
Kerry will meet with his counterparts on the Gulf Cooperation Council. He will make preparations for President Barack Obama's attendance at an April 21 GCC summit in Saudi Arabia. Kerry will also discuss efforts to combat the Islamic State group and the efforts to stabilize Yemen and Libya.
Later in the week, Kerry will travel to Hiroshima, Japan, where he will attend a G7 ministerial meeting.
