NYC is the home of concrete monoliths, gargantuan cement pillars, teeming masses and less-than-fresh air. The world at large is a huge place filled with trees, leaves, wild animals and crystal clear sweet breezes. There is space in one’s life for both. Before one ships—or jets—off to one of these wild regions, a visit to a travel clinic is recommended. Ironically, it is the beautiful places that hold the most severe danger. In NYC a switchblade will squash most threats, in the wider world, in the exotic locales, it is the vaccination!
Take the volcano-riddled landscape of Nicaragua for instance. The history of this rather tiny Central American country is fascinating, filled with fun and firearms. Although it is one of the more-developed countries in the region, there is poverty on a level that most Americans are not in tune to on a daily level. Yet this country is rich in history and breathtaking vistas, as well as friendly people who can make a stay there a highpoint of one’s lifetime. As with anywhere on earth not a modern sprawling metropolis it is prudent to receive a travel shot before your visit. Jungles, as inviting to the fun-seeking as can possibly be, harbor dangers unknown in areas as urban as NYC.
Nicaragua is not the place for a four-star clientele; it is a place for backpackers and adventurers. Some of the amazing places to visit are:
The smoking volcano of Conception at over 5,000 feet is one of the most awe-inspiring sites one can see anywhere in the world. Camping at the base of this monster, steam pluming behind you, as you partake in a scrumptious feast of fresh seafood is something you will never forget.
Lake Nicaragua, named the Sweet Sea by the locals, is the second largest lake in all of Latin America. In fact, it is so huge that while standing on one shore it is impossible to see the other. This natural wonder has everything from waves, to islands, and the only species of fresh water shark in the world!
Granada, founded in 1542 by Francisco Hernadez de Cordoba, is one of the first European cities in all of the Americas. It is Nicaragua’s fourth most populous city and enjoys a rich colonial heritage marked by its Moorish and Andalusian architecture and appearance. It is a picture-perfect city filled with romance and must-see sites.
As beautiful a place as Nicaragua is, it is recommended that travelers receive travel vaccination before they journey there. It is at a certified travel clinic that one can receive all the information that they need before leaving the stone & metal confines of NYC to expand their horizons. A typhoid vaccination recommended, as is a malaria vaccination if one plans to really delve into the local landscape and visit the jungles that abound with exotic wildlife.
For those individuals leaving from NYC there is an easily accessible certified Yellow fever vaccination clinic located on Madison Avenue just two blocks from Grand Central Station. Simply log onto Travel Clinic NYC or call 1-212-696-5900 for more information and a quick appointment. When planning your next trip overseas, think “adventure” as opposed to “convenience”. That’s where the fun is!
