By changing your diet it is always possible that you will be effected by a smaller stomach upset but there are a few things you can bear in mind to prevent your holiday from being ruined because of illness.

•  Avoid uncooked food and bying from for example street vendors were you are unsure about the hygiene.

Because Nicaragua is closer to the equator than many of the northern countries it is not even warmer but you will as well burn faster since the angle of the sun's rays is more direct. Bring a lot of sunscreen, wear covering clothes, a hat and don't forget to drink a lot of water.
